Aromatic compounds are a diverse and fascinating class of compounds with wide-ranging
importance. This book provides an overview of the synthesis and reactivity of aromatic
compounds. The publication covers the many important reaction types such as electrophilic and
nucleophilic substitution the reactivity of benzynes aryllithium chemistry and transition
metal-mediated reactions. It also includes a discussion of the synthesis of heteroaromatic
compounds polycyclic aromatic compounds and nonplanar aromatic systems. This book focusses on
reaction mechanisms and numerous examples of applications in multistep synthesis of aromatic
compounds.
