As a functional group, benzene and substituted benzenes are called arenes. Nomenclature: Functional group suffix = -benzene (review) Functional group prefix = phenyl-Substituted benzenes are usually named as such.The relative positions can be denoted as 1,2- = ortho-, 1,3- = meta-and 1,4- = para-substitution.When polysubstituted, the numbers alone are used, e.g. 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene.omenclature: Functional group suffix = -benzene (review) Functional group prefix = phenyl-Substituted benzenes are usually named as such.

Ch16 Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx page 4 Unusual Behavior of Benzene Benzene has much more stability than predicted by the simple resonance delocalized structure. For example, we know alkenes can be oxidized to syn diols (KmnO 4) and undergo electrophilic additions with halogens (Br 2).
