Is the heterocyclic compound not a derivative of cyclic hydrocarbons? why?
Benzene is a hydrocarbon that is also the simplest aromatics
Aromatic hydrocarbons referred to as "aromatic", usually refers to the molecules containing benzene ring structure of hydrocarbons. Is a kind of closed-chain class.
The heterocyclic compound is an organic compound containing a heterocyclic structure in its molecule. The atoms that make up the ring contain at least one heteroatom in addition to carbon atoms. The heteroatoms include oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen and the like. Theoretically, the heterocyclic compound can be regarded as a derivative of benzene, that is, one or more CH in the benzene ring is replaced by a heteroatom. The heterocyclic compound may be in parallel with the benzene ring to form a fused ring heterocyclic compound.
