Concepts Used:
Aromatic hydrocarbon
Aromatic hydrocarbons, sometimes known as arenes, are aromatic organic molecules made up entirely of carbon and hydrogen. In aromatic compounds a benzene ring which is named after the simple aromatic chemical benzene, or a phenyl group when part of a larger structure, is the configuration of six carbon atoms.

Reactions of Aromatic Hydrocarbons:
1. Aromatic Substitution Reactions
This reaction involves the replacement of one substituent on the ring of an aromatic hydrocarbon, commonly a hydrogen atom, by a different substituent group.
The common types of aromatic substitution reactions are:
- Nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions
- Electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions
- Radical nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions
2. Coupling Reactions
In these types of reactions, the coupling of two fragments that have a radical nature is achieved with the help of a metal catalyst
