18.1 Introduction to Aromatic CompoundsAromatic
compounds or arenes include benzene and benzene derivatives
Many aromatic compounds were originally isolated from fragrant oilsHowever, many aromatic compounds are odorless
Aromatic compounds are quite common

18.2 Nomenclature of Benzene Derivatives
Many benzene derivatives have common names.For some compounds, the common name becomes the parent name.Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

18.2 Nomenclature of Benzene DerivativesIf the substituent is larger than the ring, the substituent becomes the parent chain
Aromatic rings are often represented with a Ph (for phenyl) or with a φ (phi) symbol

18.3 Structure of BenzeneIn 1866, August Kekulé proposed that benzene is a ring comprised of alternating double and single bonds
Kekulé suggested that the exchange of double and single bonds was an equilibrium processCopyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

18.3 Structure of Benzene
We now know that the aromatic structures are resonance contributors rather than in equilibrium
HOW is resonance different from equilibrium?
Sometimes the ring is represented with a circle in itWHY?

18.4 Stability of BenzeneThe stability that results from a ring being aromatic is striking
Recall that in general, alkenes readily undergo addition reactionsAromatic rings are stable enough that they do not undergo such reactions

AROMATIC compounds fulfill two criteriaA fully conjugated ring with overlapping p-orbitalsMeets Hückel’s rule:

We can explain Hückel’s rule using MO theoryLet’s consider the MOs for cyclobutadiene
The instability of the unpaired electrons (similar to free radicals) makes this antiaromatic 18.4 Stability of Benzene

A similar MO analysis for cyclooctatetraene suggests that it is also
antiaromatic18.4 Stability of Benzene

18-19
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e Slide20
However, if the structure adopts a tub-shaped conformation, it can avoid the antiaromatic instability
The conjugation does not extend around the entire ring, so the system is neither aromatic nor
antiaromatic
