Chapter 21 discusses the concept of aromaticity as well as the nomenclature and the specialized chemical reactions of aromatic compounds such as benzene and its derivatives. This chapter comes late in the book, with the notion that the chemistry of aliphatic compounds is simply used more often. The acid-base theme is continued with the recognition that the fundamental substitution chemistry associated with benzene derivatives may be explained by the reaction of aromatic rings as Lewis bases or nucleophiles with electrophilic reagents. The reactions of benzene derivatives with strong bases and good nucleophiles are also presented.
