Q
Q: What is the stereochemical outcome of the electrophilic substitution of toluene with chlorine?
Solution:
Electrophilic substitution on toluene does not lead to stereochemistry as the reaction does not create a new stereocenter.
Steps: 4
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that toluene is a benzene ring with a methyl group attached.
Step 2: Recognize that electrophilic substitution involves replacing a hydrogen atom on the benzene ring with a chlorine atom.
Step 3: Note that during this reaction, no new stereocenters (chiral centers) are formed because the substitution occurs at a hydrogen atom.
Step 4: Conclude that since no new stereocenters are created, there is no stereochemical outcome to consider.
