what is the difference between heterocyclic compounds and heterocyclic aromatic compounds?
Answers
Explanation:
I think it's your answer
Heterocyclic Aromatic Compounds. A heterocyclic compound is an organic compound in which one or more of the carbon atoms in the backbone of the molecule has been replaced by an atom other than carbon. Typical hetero atoms include nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur.
The types of heteroatoms present in a ring are indicated by prefixes; in particular, oxa-, thia-, and aza- denote oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen atoms, respectively.
The most common heterocycles are those having five- or six-membered rings and containing heteroatoms of nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), or sulfur (S). The best known of the simple heterocyclic compounds are pyridine, pyrrole, furan, and thiophene.
