PPT-Benzene and Aromatic Compounds

The Discovery of Benzene Benzene was discovered in 1825 by the English chemist Michael Faraday Royal Institution Faraday called this new hydrocarbon bicarburet of hydrogen Faraday isolated benzene from a compressed illuminating gas that had been made by . 15-8. Benzene undergoes substitution reactions with electrophiles.. Electrophiles attack benzene by substituting for a hydrogen atom, not addition to the ring.. Under the conditions of this type of reaction, ordinary non-aromatic conjugated polyenes would polymerize rapidly.. Dr. . Sheppard. CHEM . 2412. Summer 2015.
