Question

is benzene having no alpha hydrogen

Answer 1

An alpha hydrogen is a hydrogen atom on an alpha carbon in an organic molecule. ... the 2nd-Carbon in the organic compound is the alphaCarbon, so the hydrogen atoms attached to the 2nd (alpha) carbon are termed as alpha-hydrogen atoms. So in Benzene, there is no functional group as such, so there will be no alpha carbon.

hope it clarifies ur doubt dear friend..
