This document discusses aromatic heterocyclic compounds. It begins with an introduction to aromatic heterocycles and aromaticity. Aromatic heterocycles contain a cyclic structure with both carbon and heteroatoms that satisfy the rules of aromaticity. Approximately two-thirds of organic compounds are aromatic heterocycles. The document then focuses on the structures, syntheses and reactions of pyridine and pyrrole as examples of important aromatic heterocyclic compounds. It describes the structures and mechanisms of common syntheses for these compounds. It also outlines some characteristic reactions including electrophilic substitution, oxidation, and addition reactions. The document references several textbooks and online sources for further information.
