Abstract:

By means of calculation on the molecular structures and energies of some organic compounds and intermediates based on 6-311G(d)/B3LYP method, the following questions have been discussed:(1) regioselectivity of Birch reduction; (2) electronic effect of chloromethyl; (3) effect of antiaromaticity on structures of organic compounds; (4) local aromaticity of polycyclic compounds. These calculations and discussions enrich the teaching content of organic chemistry course and are useful for college students to study aromatic hydrocarbon.

Key words: Aromatic hydrocarbon, Computational chemistry, Molecular structure, Teaching content
