benzene reactions organic chemistry

Benzene, a six-carbon ring with alternating double bonds, exhibits unique chemical stability compared to aliphatic compounds. Its reactions often involve substitution rather than addition reactions. Here are some fundamental chemical reactions of benzene: 1. Substitution Reactions: (a) Halogenation: Benzene can undergo halogenation in the presence of a halogen (e.g., chlorine or bromine) and a catalyst. … Read more
