Aromatic Structure Determination

Aromatic rings are common structural components of polymers. The best known aromatic polymer is polystyrene, in which the side chain of the polymer unit has aromatic rings. When the aromatic rings are embedded in the polymer backbone, the rigid backbone structure results in materials with stronger mechanical strength and thermal stability. Many aromatic main chain polymers are considered engineering plastics and their excellent strength and stability are valued in many demanding applications.

To qualify as an aromatic compound, the molecule must meet the following criteria:

• First, the molecule must be cyclic, that is, there must be rings inside the molecules.
• The molecule must be planar, that is, the molecule must be flat.
• The molecule must also be fully conjugated, meaning that every atom in the loop must be able to participate in resonance.

Benzene-like substances are called aromatic hydrocarbons because they have a distinctive aroma. Today an aromatic compound is any compound that contains a benzene ring or has certain benzene properties.

A few aromatic compounds are:

• Aniline: It is the starting material for the synthesis of paints, drugs, resins, varnishes, perfumes. It is also used as a solvent.
• Benzoic acid: It is the starting material for the synthesis of dyes and other organic compounds. It is also used as a food preservative.
• Nitrobenzene: It is the starting material for the synthesis of aniline. It is also used as a solvent for cellulose nitrate and to make soap and shoe polish.
• Phenol: It is the starting material for the synthesis of resins, drugs and other organic compounds. It is also used as a disinfectant.
• Toluene: It is the starting material for the synthesis of benzoic acid, benzaldehyde and many other organic compounds. It is also used as a solvent and gasoline octane booster.

In short, aromatics are substances obtained from crude oil and small amounts of coal. Aromatics are organic compounds consisting only of the elements carbon and hydrogen, and without them life on earth would not be possible.

The main aromatics are benzene, toluene and xylenes. It is used as starting materials for a wide variety of consumer products. Many products used in everyday life are based on products produced by the aromatic industry, which have advantages such as durability, safety and comfort. Aromatics are used in a wide variety of fields such as medicine, hygiene, transportation, telecommunications, fashion and sports.
