Many coloured dyes contain aromatic compounds that have two or more benzene rings. After long-term exposure to the sun, these dyes tend to fade. Propose an explanation for this phenomenon, taking into consideration the bonding nature of aromatic compounds.
Determine if the following compounds are aromatic, non-aromatic, or anti-aromatic. Show a structure that helps to support your classification. This structure should not just redraw the compound; show lone pairs, resonance, and/or contributing π bonds as part of your explanation.
Azulene, an isomer of naphthalene, has a remarkably large dipole moment for a hydrocarbon (Î¼ = 1.0 D). Explain, using resonance structures.
Formaldehyde, H2C=O, is known to all biologists because of its usefulness as a tissue preservative. When pure, formaldehyde trimerizes to give trioxane, C3H6O3, which, surprisingly enough, has no carbonyl groups. Only one monobromo derivative (C3H5BrO3) of trioxane is possible. Propose a structure for trioxane.

What is the major difference between an antiaromatic and aromatic compound? Antiaromatic compounds have at least one sp³ hybridized atom in the ring. Antiaromatic compounds are not conjugated. Only aromatic compounds have 4n+ 2 pi electrons. The structure must be cyclic for aromatic but not antiaromatic compounds. Aromatic, not Antiaromatic compounds, are planar.
Acridine is a heterocyclic aromatic compound obtained from coal tar that is used in the synthesis of dyes. The molecular formula of acridine is C13H9N, and its ring system is analogous to that of anthracene except that one CH group has been replaced by N. The two most stable resonance structures of acridine are equivalent to each other, and both contain a pyridine-like structural unit. Write a structural formula for acridine.
