Physics is fun.

Topic Ideas[edit]

Both of the topics already exists. Here are the topics and the extra sections that I will add in addition to what already exists:

Topic 1 (chosen topic): Aryl[edit]

Nomenclature (this will include different types of aryl groups too) – diagrams of the different groups

Reactions

  • Of Aryl Halides
  • Of (another aryl compound)
  • Info will be taken from "Organic Chemistry" by Jonathan Clayden - are textbooks okay for references?

Topic 2: Monomer[edit]

Nomenclature
Polymerisation (could find diagrams of these reactions, or find photos of monomers and polymers)

  • Dehydration polymers
  • Addition polymers

Topic draft - Aryl[edit]

This will be added into the article itself later on.

Nomenclature[edit]

The most basic aryl compound is phenyl, whose derivatives can be named according to the functional group connected to the phenyl group itself. The naming could be done with respect to the phenyl group itself, where the phenyl group is described with the suffix "-benzene". Alternatively, the naming could be done with respect to the side chain itself, where the phenyl group will be referred to as "phenyl".

Phenol (or hydroxybenzene)

As an example, consider a hydroxyl group connected to a phenyl group. The organic compound could be named with respect to the benzene ring, resulting in the name hydroxybenzene. Alternatively, and more commonly, this compound can be named with respect to the hydroxyl group, resulting in the more familiar name phenol.

For aryl compounds with greater than six carbons (NOTE: are they sill considered aryls?), they are collectively referred to as annulenes. Their molecular formula is CnHn+1 (where n is greater than 6), and is named as [n]annulene.[1]

Other common aryl compounds include:

Reactions of aryls[edit]

Halogen-metal exchange of aryl halides[edit]

The halogen atom of an aryl halide atom could be exchanged for a metal atom using an organometallic reagent [2]. An example of such reaction is the reaction between bromobenzene and an organolithium reagent, where there is a nucleophillic attack of the lithium cation on bromine: (insert an image of the reaction here, followed by an explanation of why reaction works)

Other possible section for reactions: Stille coupling, Suzuki coupling, Sonogashira reaction (need to read the details to see if worth adding to the section)
