Naming benzene derivatives
In this tutorial, Sal and Jay show how to name derivatives of benzene.
Aromatic stability
In this tutorial, Sal and Jay explain the concept of aromatic stabilization and show how to determine if a compound or an ion exhibits aromaticity. Knowledge of MO theory is assumed.
Reactions of benzene
In this tutorial, Sal shows the mechanism of Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution and the reactions of bromination and Friedel-Crafts Acylation.
