Benzene – the prototype arene
Benzene is the simplest
arene and an important
chemical. It was first
isolated in 1825 from
whale oil.

The structure of benzene
Friedrich Kekulé was inspired to propose the
ring structure of benzene after dreaming of a
snake biting its tail.

The structure of phenol
Look at the structure of phenol.
What substances do you think
phenol will resemble in its
properties and reactions?

TCP and Dettol
The chemical name for TCP is trichlorophenol.
This is made by the reaction of chlorine with
phenol. TCP and Dettol are important everyday
antiseptics.
