Introduction
Aromatic compounds, also known as arenes or aromatics, are chemical compounds that contain conjugated planar ring systems with delocalized pi electron clouds instead of discrete alternating single and double bonds.
Pre-Requisites:
Aromatic Compounds

| Indigo | Indigo was a natural dye extracted from plants, and this process was important economically because blue dyes were once rare. |
What you learn in Theory:
Aromatic compounds, also known as arenes or aromatics, are chemical compounds that contain conjugated planar ring systems with delocalized pi electron clouds instead of discrete alternating single and double bonds.
What you learn in Practice:
Diazonium salts, especially those where R is an aryl group, are important intermediates in the organic synthesis of azo dyes.
