Arylic

Arylic refers to a chemical structure characterized by an allyl group attached to an aromatic ring. An allyl group is a vinyl group with one hydrogen atom removed from a methylene group, giving it the formula CH2=CH-CH2-. When this group is attached to an aromatic system, such as a benzene ring, the resulting molecule is referred to as an arylic compound.

These compounds exhibit a unique combination of the reactivity associated with the alkene functionality of the allyl group and the stability and electronic properties of the aromatic ring. The double bond in the allyl group can undergo various addition reactions, while the aromatic ring can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution and other characteristic reactions of aromatics. The presence of both groups can influence each other's reactivity.

Arylic compounds find applications in various fields of chemistry. They can serve as monomers in the synthesis of polymers, where the aromatic ring can impart desirable properties such as thermal stability or rigidity to the polymer chain, while the allyl group facilitates polymerization. They are also used as intermediates in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules, including pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and agrochemicals. The specific properties and reactivity of an arylic compound depend on the nature of the aromatic ring and the position and substituents attached to it.
