Aromatic compounds properties

Chemists also learned that the term aromatic was not always accurate. Many compounds that belong to the class because of chemical properties and structures are not at all fragrant. Conversely, there are many fragrant compounds that do not have aromatic compound properties or structures. Today, the old class name is used but with a different meaning. Aromatic compounds are those that contain the characteristic benzene ring or... 

Table 111,42 deals with a number of aliphatic halogen compounds together with their crystalline derivatives. Some aromatic compounds, which simulate the properties of aliphatic haUdes in some respects, are included. 

In addition to inorganic radicals, which profoundly modify the properties of a paraflSn hydrocarbon residue, there is a whole series of organic groupings which are distinguished by exceptional reactivity, for example, the ethylene and acetylene groupings, and the phenyl and naphthyl radicals. Thus the characterisation of unsaturated hydrocarbons and their derivatives, e.g., the aromatic compounds, becomes possible. 

Determination of purity. The ultraviolet and visible absorption is often a fairly intensive property thus e values of high intensity bands may be of the order of 10 -10 . In infrared spectra e values rarely exceed 10 . It is therefore often easy to pick out a characteristic band of a substance present in small concentration in admixture with other materials. Thus small amounts of aromatic compounds can be detected in hexane or in cyclohexane. 

We 11 examine the chemical properties of aromatic compounds from two different perspectives... 

In this paper the electtode anodic reactions of a number of dihydropyridine (DHP) derivatives, quantum-chemical calculations of reactions between DHP cation-radicals and electrochemiluminescers anion-radicals (aromatic compounds) and DHP indirect ECL assay were investigated. The actuality of this work and its analytical value follow from the fact that objects of investigation - DHP derivatives - have pronounced importance due to its phaiTnacology properties as high effective hypertensive medical product. 

Triflates of aluminum, gallium and boron, which are readily available by the reaction of the corresponding chlorides with triflic acid, are effective Fnedel-Crafis catalysis for alkylation and acylation of aromatic compounds [119, 120] Thus alkylation of toluene with various alkyl halides m the presence of these catalysts proceeds rapidly at room temperature 111 methylene chloride or ni-tromethane Favorable properties of the triflates in comparison with the correspond mg fluorides or chlorides are considerably decreased volatility and higher catalytic activity [120]... 

Other polynuclear hydrocarbons may include bridged hydrocarbons, spiro hydrocarbons, mixed systems containing alicyclic and aromatic rings, and aliphatic chains, etc. Examples may be found in the CRC Handbook [63, Section C]. Physical properties of selected polynuclear aromatic compounds are given in [49, p. 967]. 

Although many of the aromatic compounds based on benzene have pleasant odors, they are usually toxic, and some are carcinogenic. Volatile aromatic hydrocarbons are highly flammable and burn with a luminous, sooty flame. The effects of molecular size (in simple arenes as well as in substituted aromatics) and of molecular symmetry (e.g., xylene isomers) are noticeable in physical properties [48, p. 212 49, p. 375 50, p. 41]. Since the hybrid bonds of benzene rings are as stable as the single bonds in alkanes, aromatic compounds can participate in chemical reactions without disrupting the ring structure. 

All the known porphyrin isomers are typical benzoid aromatic compounds which show distinctly porphyrin-like characteristic electronic absorption spectra.13 Also the complexation properties for metal ions, NH tautomerism and the NMR spectra are quite similar to the parent porphyrin structure. 

The diazonium ions 2.13 with electron-withdrawing substituents are not hetero-aromatic compounds and therefore do not strictly come within the scope of this book. They are formally related to the alkenediazonium ions. Nevertheless, they are discussed here because in their properties they bear a close resemblance to heteroaromatic and arenediazonium ions rather than to alkenediazonium ions. In par-... 

The idea that the properties of many organic compounds, especially the aromatic compounds, cannot be simply correlated with a single valence-bond structure, but require the assignment of a somewhat more complex electronic structure, was developed during the period 1923 to 1926 by a number of chemists, including Lowry, Lapworth, Robinson, and Ingold in England, Lucas...
