Chapter 18: Reactions of Benzene and Substituted Benzenes
*benzene is an aromatic compound that can be represented by
two resonance contributors
*aromatic compounds are unusually stable
*a compound must be cyclic and planar and have an
uninterrupted cloud of pi electrons above and below the
plane of the molecule; the pi cloud must contain an odd number of pairs of pi
electrons

*with the exception of toluene, benzene rings with an alkyl substituent are named as alkyl-
substituted benzenes (when the alkyl substituent has a name), or as phenyl-
substituted alkanes (when the alkyl substituent does not have a name)
*Aryl (Ar) is the general term for either a phenyl group or a substituted phenyl group, just
as alkyl (R) is the general term for a group derived from an alkane
*ArOH can be used to designate any of the following phenols

*the first step is relatively slow and endergonic b/c an aromatic compound is being
converted to a much less stable nonaromatic intermediate
*the second step is fast and strongly exergonic b/c this step restores the stability-
enhancing aromaticity
