aryl halides

Aryl halides are a class of organic compounds that consist of an aromatic ring, such as benzene, bonded to a halogen atom (like chlorine, bromine, or iodine). These compounds have unique properties due to their stable ring structure and the presence of electronegative halogen atoms, which can affect their reactivity and interactions with other substances. Aryl halides are commonly used in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as intermediates in chemical synthesis. Their distinctive characteristics make them important in both industrial applications and research within organic chemistry.
