Związki aromatyczne to węglowodory ze sprzężonymi wiązaniami π zamkniętymi w pierścieniu. Benzen i jego pochodne są najbardziej znanymi przykładami związków aromatycznych.
Pierwotnie pochodne benzenu były izolowane z naturalnych olejów wytwarzanych przez rośliny i drzewa i nazywano je "aromatycznymi" ze względu na ich charakterystyczny zapach.
Na przykład benzaldehyd z migdałów i wiśni, toluen z balsamu Tolu i eugenol z goździków mają wyraźne zapachy.
Z biegiem czasu termin aromatyczny nadal opisuje wszystkie pochodne benzenu, niezależnie od tego, czy są pachnące, czy nie. Na przykład aspiryna przeciwbólowa zawiera kwas acetylosalicylowy, bezwonny związek aromatyczny.
Strukturalnie związki aromatyczne są wysoce nienasyconymi węglowodorami i wykazują inne zachowanie chemiczne niż alkeny, alkiny i polieny o otwartym łańcuchu.
Głównymi źródłami prostych związków aromatycznych są smoła węglowa i ropa naftowa.
Destylacja frakcyjna smoły węglowej daje wiele związków aromatycznych, takich jak benzen, toluen, ksylen, naftalen i inne.
Podobnie podczas rafinacji ropy naftowej alkany są przekształcane w związki aromatyczne.

Aromatic Compounds: Overview

Ogólnie termin „aromatyczny” oznacza przyjemny zapach lub zapach świeżych kwiatów, świeżo przygotowanej kawy itp. We wczesnej historii chemii organicznej wiele pochodnych benzenu izolowano z olejków o przyjemnym zapachu roślin. Na przykład wanilinę wyizolowano z olejku waniliowego, salicylan metylu z olejku wintergrinowego, a aldehyd cynamonowy z olejku cynamonowego. Wszystkie miały przyjemny zapach; stąd nadano nazwę aromatyczny.

W 1825 roku Faraday wyizolował benzen ze sprężonego gazu oświetlającego (paliwa spalanego w latarniach gazowych) i nazwał go „wodorowęglanem”. Przeprowadził także analizę elementarną związku i zaobserwował stosunek wodoru do węgla wynoszący 1:1.

Później Eilhardt Mitscherlich zsyntetyzował benzen z kwasu benzoesowego (wyodrębnionego z benzoesu gumowego) i tlenku wapnia w 1834 r. Przeprowadzając pomiary gęstości pary, wykazał, że wzór cząsteczkowy benzenu to C_6H_6. Ponieważ nowy związek pochodził z gumy benzoesowej, nazwał go Benzin, obecnie znany jako benzen. Stosowany jest jako rozpuszczalnik laboratoryjny.

Termin „aromatyczny” jest nadal używany do opisania wszystkich pochodnych benzenu, niezależnie od tego, czy są pachnące, czy nie. Wiele związków naturalnych i farmaceutycznych ma charakter aromatyczny. Na przykład estron jest sterydem, atorwastatyna (Lipitor) to lek obniżający poziom cholesterolu, Zoloft to lek przeciwdepresyjny, a Serevent stosowany w leczeniu astmy to związki aromatyczne.

<img alt="Figure2" src="/files/ftp_upload/12448/12448_PT_Figure_2.svg" style="text-align: center; height: 425px;">

Związki aromatyczne otrzymywane są głównie z węgla i ropy naftowej. Węgiel wytwarza smołę węglową po podgrzaniu do 1000°C przy braku powietrza. Smoła węglowa podczas destylacji frakcyjnej wytwarza wiele węglowodorów aromatycznych, takich jak benzen, toluen, dimetylobenzen (ksylen), naftalen, bifenyl, inden, antracen itp.

Jednak związków aromatycznych nie można otrzymać bezpośrednio z ropy naftowej. Podczas rafinacji ropy naftowej alkany przekształcają się w związki aromatyczne w obecności katalizatora w temperaturze 500°C pod wysokim ciśnieniem.

aromatic compounds in plants and fuels

Aromatic compounds are linked to both pleasant smells and important chemical structures. The word aromatic first came from fragrant natural sources such as fresh flowers and spices. Early organic chemists isolated benzene derivatives from oils of plants, including vanillin from vanilla, methyl salicylate from wintergreen, and cinnamaldehyde from cinnamon.

The history of benzene also helped shape the idea of aromatic compounds. In 1825, Faraday isolated benzene from compressed illuminating gas, which was used in gaslights. He called it bicarburet of hydrogen and found a 1:1 ratio of hydrogen to carbon. In 1834, Eilhardt Mitscherlich made benzene from benzoic acid, which comes from gum benzoin, and calcium oxide. He used vapor density measurements to show that benzene has the formula C6H6, and he named it Benzin, now called benzene.

Today, the term aromatic includes many benzene derivatives, even when they do not smell pleasant. Benzene itself is used as a laboratory solvent. Many natural and pharmaceutical compounds are aromatic, including estrone, atorvastatin (Lipitor), Zoloft, and Serevent.

Aromatic compounds are mainly obtained from coal and petroleum. When coal is heated to 1000 °C without air, it forms coal tar. Fractional distillation of coal tar gives aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, naphthalene, biphenyl, indene, and anthracene. Aromatic compounds are not taken directly from petroleum, but petroleum refining can convert alkanes into aromatic compounds with a catalyst at 500 °C under high pressure.

Naming Benzene Derivatives with One Group

Benzene derivatives with one substituent are named by attaching the substituent name to benzene. Benzene is the simplest aromatic hydrocarbon, also called an arene. For simple monosubstituted benzene compounds, IUPAC naming uses the group name as a prefix. Halogen-substituted benzene compounds follow this pattern. The halogen prefix can be fluoro, chloro, bromo, or iodo. When an alkyl group is attached to the benzene ring, the name depends on the chain length of that group. If the alkyl chain...

Naming Benzene Rings with Multiple Groups

Naming benzene rings with multiple groups depends on how many substituents are attached. For benzene derivatives with two groups, three constitutional isomers are possible. The position of each group is described with IUPAC naming rules. For disubstituted benzene compounds, the relative positions can be shown with ortho, meta, and para. These terms are also written as o, m, and p. They can also be written with numbers, such as 1,2- for ortho, 1,3- for meta, and 1,4- for para. Dimethyl benzene,...

Kekule’s Benzene Model and Its Limits

Kekule’s benzene model describes benzene as a six-carbon ring with alternating pi bonds. August Kekule proposed this structure in 1865 from the formula C6H6, the idea that all benzene hydrogens are equivalent, and the rule that each carbon has four bonds because of tetravalency. In this model, each carbon is attached to one hydrogen atom. It also predicts two isomers for 1,2-disubstituted benzene derivatives. In one form, the substituted carbons are linked by a double bond, and in the other...

Benzene π Orbitals and Electron Delocalization

Benzene has a planar ring structure with delocalized π electrons. Its six carbon atoms form a regular hexagon, and each carbon is sp2 hybridized. The C–C–C and H–C–C bond angles are 120°, which matches the flat shape of the ring. Each carbon is bonded to three other atoms. The C–H bond length is 109 pm, and the C–C bond length is 139 pm. That C–C distance is midway between the single bond length of sp3 hybridized carbons, 154 pm, and the sp2 value, 133 pm. Beneath and above the ring plane,...

H&uuml;ckel Rule and Aromatic Ring Criteria

Aromatic rings follow H&amp;uuml;ckel’s rule, also called the 4n + 2 rule. This rule helps identify which unsaturated cyclic compounds are aromatic and why some ring systems are unstable instead. Benzene is the classic example, while cyclobutadiene and cyclooctatetraene show different behavior and are not aromatic. Eric H&amp;uuml;ckel, a German chemical physicist, first described the structural features needed for aromaticity. An aromatic compound must be cyclic, planar, and continuously...

h&uuml;ckel's rule diagram of &pi; mos: frost circle

Frost Circle for Pi Orbital Energies

The Frost circle is a graphical method for showing the relative energies of pi molecular orbitals in planar, fully conjugated, monocyclic compounds. It is also called the inscribed polygon method. A. A. Frost and Boris Musulin first described this method in 1953. To build a Frost circle, draw a polygon with the same number of edges as the number of carbons in the cyclic system. Place one vertex pointing downward. Then draw a circle around the polygon so that every vertex touches the circle.

Using Frost Circles to Test Aromaticity

Frost circles help test whether a cyclic compound is aromatic by using the inscribed polygon method and Hückel’s 4n + 2 rule. A compound is stable and aromatic when every bonding molecular orbital (MO) is completely filled with a pair of electrons. If electrons occupy non-bonding or antibonding orbitals, the compound is unstable and not aromatic. Frost circle diagrams for cycloalkenes with 4 to 8 carbons show a clear pattern. The number of bonding MOs is always odd. The electrons needed to...

Cyclopentadienyl Anion and Aromaticity

Cyclopentadiene is a neutral hydrocarbon that is not aromatic. It contains an odd number of carbon atoms and one CH2 group in the ring. With only 4 pi electrons, it does not follow the 4n + 2 pi electron rule. The CH2 carbon is sp3 hybridized, so it has no vacant p orbital to keep p orbitals overlapped around the ring. That break in overlap stops pi electrons from spreading across the entire ring. As a result, cyclopentadiene does not meet the usual aromaticity criteria. If one hydrogen is...

Cycloheptatrienyl Cation and Aromaticity

Cycloheptatriene is a neutral monocyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon with seven carbon atoms. One carbon in the ring is sp3 hybridized, which breaks the continuous overlap of p orbitals. Even though the ring has three double bonds and 6 π electrons, cycloheptatriene is not aromatic because the p orbitals do not form one uninterrupted loop. Removing one hydrogen from the CH2 group changes the ring. If that hydrogen is removed with both, one, or no electrons, the products are the cycloheptatrienyl...

Five-Membered Aromatic Rings with Heteroatoms

Five-membered aromatic rings with heteroatoms are cyclic compounds that contain one or more atoms other than carbon in the ring. They are aromatic and can have either five or six atoms in the ring. Common examples include pyrrole, furan, thiophene, and imidazole. These rings differ by the heteroatom present. Pyrrole has one nitrogen atom with one lone pair of electrons. Furan has one oxygen atom, and thiophene has one sulfur atom. Both furan and thiophene have two lone pairs of electrons.

nmr spectroscopy of aromatic compounds

Aromatic Ring Shifts in NMR Spectra

Aromatic ring shifts in NMR spectra help identify aromatic compounds using proton NMR and carbon-13 NMR. Aromatic hydrogens are often strongly deshielded by the aromatic ring current, so they usually appear in the 6.5–8.0 ppm range in proton NMR. In benzene, the hydrogens directly bonded to the ring absorb at 7.3 ppm. Larger aromatic rings can place hydrogens outside the usual range. In [18]annulene, the 12 outer hydrogens are highly deshielded by the ring current and absorb downfield at 9.3...
