benzeneyhdisteitä
Benzeneyhdisteitä, or benzene derivatives, are organic compounds that contain a benzene ring as a fundamental structural unit. Benzene itself is a cyclic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C6H6, characterized by its planar, hexagonal structure with alternating double and single bonds, often represented by a circle within the hexagon to denote delocalized pi electrons. Derivatives are formed when one or more hydrogen atoms attached to the benzene ring are replaced by other atoms or functional groups.
These substituents can significantly alter the physical and chemical properties of the benzene ring. Common substituents
Benzene derivatives are ubiquitous in nature and industry. They form the backbone of many essential organic
