Some history of Benzene
1825 Michael Faraday isolated a new hydrocarbon from illuminating gas.
1834 Eilhardt Mitscherlich isolated same substance and determines its empirical
formula to be CnHn. Compound comes to be called benzene.
1845 August W. von Hofmann isolated benzene from coal tar.
1866 August Kekulé proposed structure of benzene.
Kekulé (1866) proposed a cyclic structure for C6H6 with alternating single and double bonds.

Structural studies of benzene do not support theKekulé formulation. Instead of alternating singleand double bonds, all of the C—C bonds in benzene are the same length, 140 pm.

The structure of benzene is expressed as a resonance hybrid of the two Lewis structures. Electrons are not localized in alternating single and double bonds,but are delocalized over all six ring carbons.

11.3The Stability of Benzene
Benzene is the best and most familiar example Benzene is the best and most familiar example of a substance that possesses "special stability" of a substance that possesses "special stability" or "aromaticity ".or "aromaticity ".
Aromaticity is a level of stability that is substantially Aromaticity is a level of stability that is substantially greater for a molecule than would be expected on greater for a molecule than would be expected on the basis of any of the Lewis structures written for it. the basis of any of the Lewis structures written for it.

The observed heat of hydrogenation is 152 kJ/mol (36 kcal/mol) less than "expected", so benzene is 152 kJ/mol more stable than expected.
This 152 kJ/mol is the resonance energy of benzene.

Compared to 1,3,5-hexatriene

Exact value of resonance energy of benzene depends on what it is compared to, but regardless of model, benzene is more stable than expected by a substantial amount.

Requirements for Aromaticity
1. The compound must be cyclic.
2. Each ring atom must have a p-orbital.
3. The ring must be planar. ( electrons are completely conjugated)
4. An additional factor that is required for a molecule to be aromatic is Huckel’s Rule. (4n + 2 electrons).
Requirements for Aromaticity
Aromatic compounds meet all of these four conditions.
A nonaromatic compound does not obey one or more of conditions 1-3.
An antiaromatic obeys conditions 1-3 but does not meet condition 4.
Annulenes: cyclic compounds that have completely alternating double bonds and may or may not be aromatic.
Definitions
Heat of hydrogenation of benzene is 152 kJ/mol, less than 3 times heat of hydrogenation of cyclohexene (resonance energy).

Hückel's Rule
Hückel restricted his analysis to planar,completely conjugated, monocyclic polyenes.
He found that the molecular orbitals ofthese compounds had a distinctive pattern.
One orbital was lowest in energy, another was highest in energy, and the others were arranged in pairs between the highestand the lowest.
