Organic Chemistry II Final Review Content (Aromatic, Aldehydes, Ketones, Amines)

aromatic compound rules

1) cyclic and planar

2) all atoms must be conjugated

3) 4n+2 pi electrons (4n is anti-aromatic)

how many electrons in a -,+ or lone electron for aromatic compounds

+: 0

lone electron: 1

all of these conjugate their position
