Benzene has a high degree of unsaturation. Benzene and its derivatives are earlier classified as aromatic compounds due to their distinct odour. Now they are defined as aromatic based on Hückel’s Rule of aromaticity. Aromatic hydrocarbons are also known as arenes. They are comparatively unreactive than alkenes in spite of having double bonds. Benzene derivatives are commonly represented by Ph-R (C6H5-R). They are formed by substitution of hydrogen of the benzene with different functional groups such as -OH in phenol, -NH2 in aniline, -CH3 in toluene, etc.
