Organized to enable students and synthetic chemists to understand and expand on aromatic reactions covered in foundation courses, the book offers a thorough and accessible mechanistic explanation of aromatic reactions involving arene compounds.

•    Surveys methods used for preparing arene compounds and their transformations
•    Connects reactivity and methodology with mechanism
•    Helps readers apply aromatic reactions in a practical context by designing syntheses
•    Provides essential information about techniques used to determine reaction mechanisms
