Aromatic Hydrocarbons
Aromatic hydrocarbons can be defined as cyclic hydrocarbons with delocalized pi electrons between carbon atoms of ring. Since benzene is simplest aromatic compound therefore aromatic hydrocarbons can be defined as hydrocarbons which contain one or more benzene rings. It can be divided into mono-cyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and non-benzene aromatic hydrocarbons.
They are well known for their strong, pungent aromas. They are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Aromatic hydrocarbons (especially single-ring aromatic hydrocarbon) are important chemical raw materials. Petroleum and coal tar are major sources of aromatic compounds. Aromatic compounds exhibit unique chemical and physical properties due to their extra stability. Aromatic hydrocarbons have wide applications in several industries.
