(a)Azulene has an appreciabel dipole moment.Write the reasonance structure that explains the dipole moment and its aromaticity. (b)In the cse of halogen-substituted azulenes,a halogen atom onC-6can be displace bynucleophile while one onC-1is unreactive towards nucleophile .Rationalise this differemce in behaviou. |
Answer» Solution : The major CONTRIBUTION to the HYBRID must be one that involves charge separation ,having aromatic five-and seven-membered rings. (b) `ArSN` intermediate reaction is favoured by five-membered ring WOTH cyclopentadienyl anion character(aromatic). In the second case`BAR(e)`discoalisation into the other (seven-membered)ring result in eight`bar(e)`-in that ring ,which DOESNOT stablise it.
