Organic Chemistry of Aromatic Compounds: Mechanisms and Reactivity
Author(s): Danjatau Dogo*
Organic chemistry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the study of carbon-containing compounds, and aromatic compounds are a fascinating
subset of organic chemistry. Aromatic compounds are characterized by their unique ring structures and distinctive reactivity patterns. Understanding
the mechanisms and reactivity of aromatic compounds is crucial in the field of organic chemistry, as it provides insight into a wide range of chemical
processes and applications. In this article, we will explore the organic chemistry of aromatic compounds, including their structural features, key
reactions, and mechanisms. Aromatic compounds are defined by the presence of an aromatic ring, a planar, cyclic arrangement of carbon atoms
that incorporates alternating single and double bonds. The most famous aromatic compound is benzene, which consists of a hexagonal ring with
