AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS Aromatic hydrocarbons contain a benzene ring, C6H6, as a base Most of these compounds are volatile (easily vaporized) and are associated with a distinct aroma (good or bad) IUPAC naming system: With side-chains, aromatic naming follows similar rules as for C-chains. IUPA...
AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS Aromatic hydrocarbons contain a benzene ring, C6H6, as a base Most of these compounds are volatile (easily vaporized) and are associated with a distinct aroma (good or bad) IUPAC naming system: With side-chains, aromatic naming follows similar rules as for C-chains. IUPAC naming system: When benzene is considered to be a side group, it is called a phenyl group IUPAC naming system: When only two groups are present on benzene, the following prefixes are used: ortho meta para
