This document discusses heterocyclic and polycyclic aromatic compounds. It provides examples of heterocyclic compounds that contain nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur atoms in their rings, including furan, thiophene, pyrrole, pyridine, quinoline, and isoquinoline. Naphthalene is discussed as an example of a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. The document outlines synthesis methods and characteristic reactions for these compounds, such as electrophilic substitution, reduction, acylation, and nitration reactions.
