Aromatic hydrocarbons are monocyclic or polycyclic. Most of the aromatic compounds contain a benzene ring. They are also known as arenes. In aromatic hydrocarbons, pi electrons are delocalised between carbon atoms in the cycle. Heterocyclic compounds following Huckel’s rule are also aromatic compounds. Benzene is the most popular aromatic hydrocarbon. They readily undergo electrophilic substitution reactions.
