• AROMATIC compounds or ARENES include
benzene and benzene derivatives.
– Aromatic compounds are quite common.
– Many aromatic compounds were originally isolated from
fragrant oils.
– However, many aromatic compounds are odorless.

• Many benzene derivatives have common names
that become the parent name. (memorize these)

• If 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.

• Locants are required for rings with more than 2
substituents.
1. Identify the parent chain (generally the aromatic
ring):
– Often a common name can be the parent chain.
2. Identify and name the substituents.

Klein, Organic Chemistry 1e 18-8
3. Number the parent chain
– A substituent that is part of the parent
name must be assigned locant
NUMBER 1.
4. List the numbered substituents
before the parent name in
alphabetical order:
– Ignore prefixes (except iso) when
ordering alphabetically.
– Complete the name for the molecule
above.

• In 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 process.
18.3 Structure of Benzene

• We now know that the aromatic structures are
resonance contributors rather than in equilibrium.
• Sometimes the ring is represented with a circle in
it

• The stability that results from a ring being
aromatic is striking.
– Recall that in general, alkenes readily undergo addition
reactions.
– Aromatic rings are stable enough that they do not
undergo such reactions.
18.4 Stability of Benzene

– Heats of hydrogenation can be used to quantify
aromatic stability.

• Molecular orbital (MO) theory can help us explain
aromatic stability.
• The six atomic p-orbitals of benzene overlap to
make six MOs.

Klein, Organic Chemistry 1e 18-15
Summary of Critical Points of MO Theory
• MO Theory is good for describing excited states,
ions, exotic species that defy Lewis structures.
• Mix n atomic orbitals to form n molecular orbitals
– each orbital has max occupation = 2 electrons
– Fill from lowest energy MO
– An MO has NO EFFECT until it contains an electron
– For each bonding MO, there exists an anti-bonding
MO that can exactly cancel the bonding MO
• Most likely excitation moves one electron from
HOMO to LUMO
• we can use FROST CIRCLES to predict the
relative MO energies.

• Use the FROST CIRCLES below to explain the
4n+2 rule.
– Note that the number of bonding orbitals is always an
odd number; aromatic compounds will always have an
odd number of electron pairs.

• Some rings must carry a formal charge to be
aromatic.
• Consider a 5-membered ring.

• Heteroatoms (atoms other than C or H) can also
be part of an aromatic ring.
– If the heteroatom’s lone pair is necessary, it will be
included in the HÜCKEL number of pi electrons.

Klein, Organic Chemistry 1e 18-23
• If the lone pair is necessary to make it aromatic,
the electrons will not be as basic.

• A carbon that is attached to a benzene
ring is BENZYLIC.
• Recall that aromatic rings and alkyl
groups are not easily oxidized.

• HOWEVER, benzylic positions can readily be fully
oxidized.
– The benzylic position needs to have at least one proton
attached to undergo oxidation.

• BENZYLIC positions have similar
reactivity to allylic positions.
– Benzylic positions readily undergo free radical
bromination.
