HELLO!!
ANSWER:
AROMATIZATION:
Aromatization is a chemical reaction in which an aromatic system is formed. It can also refer to the production of a new aromatic moiety in a molecule which is already aromatic. Theoretically, this can be achieved by dehydrogenation of existing cyclic compounds (such as in converting cyclohexane into benzene) or by formation of new cyclic system (such as in the cyclotrimerization of acetylene to benzene);practically, other moieties are typically required to carry out such conversion, and other approaches like applying condensation reactions are possible. Aromatization includes the formation of any aromatic system (including heterocyclic systems), and is not restricted to benzene and its derivatives.
The substance now called benzene, C6H6, was known as a component of Southeast Asian aromatic resins used in perfumery since the 15th century. It was first isolated and identified by Michael Faraday in 1825 who named it bicarburet of hydrogen. In 1845, Charles Mansfield, working under August Wilhelm von Hofmann, isolated benzene from coal tar and began the industrial-scale production based on this method four years later.Over time, consensus developed that other substances were chemically related to benzene, comprising a diverse chemical family; Hofmann used the word "aromatic" for this family for the first time in 1856.
