Requested move 23 September 2020

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: page moved. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 16:29, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]



Aromatic hydrocarbonAromatic compound – This page contains a lot of content (reactions and structures) on aromatic compounds that are not aromatic hydrocarbons, which depending on definition may include heteroatoms in the aromatic ring, but not as substituents (functional groups). Some stricter definitions would use the term to refer only to those compounds containing only C and H atoms. Thus, I think a broader title is needed, which would allow the page to serve as a general overview of aromatic compounds, even if there remains a focus on reactions of the aromatic ring specifically. Subsequent to the move, some content at aromaticity on types of aromatic compounds could be moved into this article, leaving that page to focus on the concept and theory of aromaticity. The article Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons also exists which encompasses many aromatic hydrocarbons. There is also the article Aryl with some content overlap that should be better integrated with these other articles.

Remove Benzene ring model"

[edit]

Maybe controversial. I am planning remove the section == Benzene ring model ==. Redundant with benzene and with aromaticity. Some redundancy is inevitable though.--Smokefoot (talk) 18:10, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Needs a section about non-benzenoid aromatic compounds

[edit]

I'm surprised that this article does not have any information about non-benzenoid aromatic compounds such as imidazole, pyrrole, pyridine, pyrimidine, pyridazine, pyrazine, pyrazole, thiazine, thiazole... The list is infinite. These compounds are very important in organic chemistry as precursors to polymers (such as polypyrrole, polyvinylpyrrolidone, etc.) and in pharmacy as precursors to many medicines (such as ketoconazole, clotrimazole, [[atorvastatin, tolmetin, etc.).

I will try to help write the section and in finding reliable sources. Looking forward to consensus

I found 8 sources:

Incipit

[edit]

"Aromatic compounds or arenes are organic compounds "with a chemistry typified by benzene"..."

Why OR? Arenes are aromatic hydrocarbons and so are a subset of hydrocarbons, while "aromatic compounds" can contain any functional group. Patrizio 93.65.153.115 (talk) 16:59, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
