Aromatic Compounds

Subject: Chemistry

Book: General Chemistry

Aromatic compounds contain conjugated ring systems with delocalized π electrons following Huckel’s rule (4n+2 π electrons). Benzene (C6H6) is the simplest aromatic compound, displaying resonance for added stability. Aromatic compounds exhibit unique substitution reactions (electrophilic aromatic substitution) rather than typical addition reactions. They are found in pharmaceuticals, dyes, and naturally occurring molecules (e.g., certain plant pigments).
