- Aniline is a benzenoid compound, as it contains a benzene ring in its structure.
- Benzenoid compounds are aromatic compounds that feature at least one benzene ring.
- In contrast, acetaldehyde, propane, and hexane are not benzenoid compounds as they do not contain a benzene ring.
- Aniline, with the chemical formula C6H5NH2, is an aromatic amine and a key starting material in the manufacture of dyes, drugs, and plastics.
Additional Information
- Benzene is the simplest aromatic hydrocarbon and a precursor to many other aromatic compounds.
- Organic compounds are classified as aromatic if they follow the Hückel’s rule, which states that the compound must have a planar ring of continuously overlapping p-orbitals and 4n+2 π-electrons.
- Aniline is synthesized industrially by the reduction of nitrobenzene or by the amination of chlorobenzene.
- Due to its aromatic nature, aniline undergoes electrophilic substitution reactions, which are typical of benzene derivatives.
