benzene derivative

Only one kind of monosubstituted derivatives are possible in benzene rings as all six hydrogen atoms are equivalent. For example, there is only one toluene. It does not matter where the methyl group is attached because all the following arrangements are equivalent. When two sa..

When the functional group or any substituent, in aromatic compounds is directly attached to the benzene ring, it is a called nuclear substituted compound. Such compounds are named as the derivatives of benzene under the IUPAC system. However, the common names of many ..

Aromatic compounds are those carbocyclic compounds that contain at least one benzene ring. The ring of six carbons in benzene or any of its derivatives is termed benzene ring or nucleus. A benzene ring may be represented in any of the following ways..

In halogenations, the nature of the products depends upon the reaction conditions. Benzene in the presence of a halogen carrier e.g., FeCl 3 or iodine, reacts with chlorine and bromine even in dark and at room temperature to give mono- and di-halo derivatives, ..

Haloarenes are colorless liquids or crystalline solids. Aryl halides are heavier than water. Being heavier than water, they are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The melting and boiling points of aryl halides are nearly the same as those of alkyl halides containing the ..

Production of aromatic hydrocarbons (arenes) like benzene, toluene and xylenes. Earlier the bulk of arenes were obtained from coal tar, but now they are derived from petroleum by the process of reforming. Increasing the octane number of straight-run gasoline by increasing t..

Aromatic Nitro Compounds - Aromatic compounds can be directly nitrated using a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and sulphuric acid. This reaction is an example of electrophilic substitution of benzene. The electrophile is a nitroni..
