Birch reduction of Toulene gives
@ Sakshi the answer might be wrong bcoz here anti aromatic compound is formedPlz aprve
Oops mistookThe answer is correct(Sakshi)I forgot about the delocalisation of Tye double bond
Delocalisation will be thee only when conjugation is there i.e double bonds are separated by a single bond so the second stucture is wrong.If any mistake is on my side than pls show me the change from first structure into the other.
Yes because the anti aromatic is firmed when there is an complete delocalisation of electronThe answer given by Sakshi is correct pl. Check out and the answer is non aromatic Please approve
U are wrong I check my books completely
I also know the answer is non aromatic but i was asking that in the above given equation the two structures given in the product how are they interconvertible into one another as to form resonating structures you must have conjugation between the pi-pi electons.
Hi..The two structures mentioned in the above answer are not the interconvertable forms.This actually depicts that on the reduction of toluene either the first structure or the second structure will be obtained. This is because there is delocalization in the benzene ring and hence either of the two compounds cam be formed.It is just the representation which is different, both are actually the same compounds.Hope this clears the doubt now..Regards
