-
Student Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of this module, students you will be able to:
- Explain the concept of aromaticity and distinguish the main properties of aromatic compounds.
- Identify the aromatic portions present in naturally occurring compounds, given the necessary structures.
- Name and draw the structure of aromatic compounds based on IUPAC rules.
- Distinguish the ortho, meta, and para positions in a monosubstituted benzene ring and apply them to name simple disubstituted aromatic compounds.
- Apply IUPAC rules to name and draw an aromatic compound when the substituents are alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl groups, halogens, nitro groups, carboxyl groups, amino groups, hydroxyl groups, and phenyl groups.
- Compare the reactivity of a typical alkene with that of benzene.
