Benzene wani sinadari ne daga cikin aromatic compounds (wato compounds din dasuke da ring kuma suka cika sharadin Huckel rule). Benzene yakunshi carbon guda shida dakuma Hydrogen guda shida, ana rubuta shi a C6H6. Benzene Kamar ko wane compound, Yana da reactions din dayake yi duk da ya banbanta da wasu compounds din, ana kianshi da stable compound kasantuwar ya kunshi Carbon to Hydrogen double bond. Daga cikin reactions din benzene akwae; electrophilic substitution reaction (friedel-craft alkylation dakuma acylation) reaction, wasu lokutan ma ana iya maidashi cyclohexane ta wasu hanyoyi. Electrophilic substitution reaction na benzene Yana faruwa ne idan electrophile ya hadu da benzene ta yadda wannan electrophile din zai shiga cikin benzene ya maye gurbin daya daga cikin Hydrogen Hydrogen shida na benzene din. Misali:
- C6H6 + HCl = C6H5Cl + HCl.
- C6H6 + CH3Br = C6H5CH3Br + HBr
- C6H6 + CH3OCl = C6H5OCH3 + HCl
Idan aka hada benzene da liquid Ammonia, da t-butyl alcohol ya kan canza ya koma cyclohexane (aliphatic compound) ta hanyar rasa double bonda guda uku.
