Ring component exhibits the characteristic stability of the aromatic compounds.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was posed to me at a job interview.My doubt stems from Aromatic Hydrocarbon Oxidation topic in chapter Oxidation of Unit Processes

Answer»

Correct option is (a) True

Explanation: The oxidation of hydrocarbons having an AROMATIC nucleus and one or more SIDE chains may be effected in the side chain without marked rupture of the RING itself, since each component behaves more or less as it would if it alone constituted the major part of the molecule. Thus, the ring component exhibits the characteristic stability of the aromatic compounds.
