TNT Detonation TNT is stable in the presence of shock, but can be detonated by adding a chemical priming agent.
The Aromaticity of Pericyclic Reaction Transition StatesHenry S. Rzepa Presents an approach that combines two fundamental concepts in organic chemistry, chirality and aromaticity, into a simple rule for stating selection rules for pericyclic reactions in terms of achiral Hckel-aromatic and chiral Mbius-aromatic transition states. Rzepa, Henry S. J. Chem. Educ.2007, 84, 1535.

Structure-resonance theory for pericyclic transition statesHerndon, William C. The purpose of this article is to show that structure-resonance theory can be used to understand the effects of structure or substituents on the rates of thermal pericyclic reactions. Herndon, William C. J. Chem. Educ.1981, 58, 371.

Coumarin, Naphthalene, and Additional Polycyclic Aromatic HydrocarbonsWilliam F. Coleman The featured molecules this month are drawn from two papers. The first, "One-Pot Synthesis of 7-Hydroxy-3-carboxycoumarin in Water", is a Green Chemistry feature by Fringuelli, Piermatti, and Pizzo. The three-dimensional versions of the molecules in the synthesis of the coumarin derivative are directly tied to the reaction scheme included in the paper, opening the possibility of showing large numbers of complex synthetic pathways in this manner.The second paper is "Determining the Carbon-Carbon Distance in an Organic Molecule with a Ruler" by Simoni, Tubino, and Ricchi. This article describes an experiment to determine the size of a naphthalene molecule, using an extension of classic experiments for determining molecular size and Avogadro's number. While the structure of naphthalene will come as no surprise to most students, the molecule collection also includes additional polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that can be used to introduce students to the environmental and health issues related to these molecules.
