I got a 1st in my first year studying chemistry at the University of Birmingham using these revision notes that I have uploaded. They include detail on structure of benzene, stability of aromatic compounds, criteria for aromaticity, electrophilic substitution, benzene vs olefin reactivity with electrophiles, arrow-pushing mechanisms for a range of electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, functional group interconversion, selectivity in substitution reactions, how substitutents on a benzene...
