Aromatic Compounds Study Guide Cheat Sheet

April 2, 2015 By Leah4sci 19 Comments

When it comes to naming Aromatic compounds in organic chemistry, you will be required to know both common and IUPAC names. My Naming Aromatic Compounds videos teach you how to approach nomenclature. or CLICK HERE for my entire 21-video series on Naming Organic Compounds.

However, students often ask me for a list of ‘required' or ‘common' aromatic compounds. And so I've put together this detailed guide of various compounds you'll see in Organic Chemistry 1, 2, and perhaps even later on in Biochemistry/Biology.

This list is by no means complete, however it does cover most of what you'll see in organic chemistry.
This guide is free despite the hours I invested creating it. All I ask is that you share with your classmates by clicking on the Facebook/Twitter/Google+/Pinterest links above.

Right-click the image below then select ‘save as’ or print for the full version.

      They are substituents, not molecules

      You’re welcome Radhika. I don’t have plans to make another cheat sheet right now since I’m busy preparing for the Orgo Bootcamp later this month.

    Can I ask you some questions about the substitution reaction of aromatic?

    I´ve learnt that if there is a deactivating group on the aromatic ring; the alkylation and acylation rxn cannot occur. But if there also be an activating group on the ring, which one will determine the rxn? (Occur or not, position of the substituent

      When there’s competition between activating and deactivating groups, the stronger activating group (if there’s more than one) wins. Be sure to take steric effects into consideration
