Birch Reduction of Benzene

Content Provider AK Lectures
Description Benzene is a very stable and unreactive molecule, primarily because it contains aromaticity. Whenever the benzene molecule undergoes reactions, it tends to only react in such a way as to preserve its stabilizing aromatic character. However, exceptions do exist and one such reaction in which benzene loses its aromaticity is know as the Birch reduction of benzene. Whenever benzene is mixed in with sodium metal in liquid ammonia in the presence of a little bit of ethanol, the benzene will be transformed into 1,4-cyclohexadiene. This reaction takes place as a result of the fact that the intermediate radicals are all resonance stabilized.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
