When resonance theory was first applied to understanding the structure of benzene, the key feature seemed to be a resonance hybrid of ring structures containing alternating single and double bonds. This immediately led to attempts to make and study compounds like cyclooctatetraene and cyclobutane.

There is no such structure in the intermediate for nitration of benzene, so the intermediate for toluene nitration is more stable and the reaction which goes through it is faster. We call the methy group (and alkyl groups in general) an "activating" group for electrophilic aromatic substitution.

Benzene is one of the most fascinating molecules. The structure of this molecule eluded chemists until 1865 when Friedrich August Kekulé proposed that it consisted of a hexagonal ring with a carbon atom at each vertex. ... The Structure of Benzene:

A description of the Kekulé structure for benzene and the reasons (including hydrogenation energies) why it isn't satisfactory. ... Kekulé was the first to suggest a sensible structure for benzene. The carbons are arranged in a hexagon, and he suggested alternating double and single bonds between them. Each carbon atom has...

The Kekulé structure represents benzene, and everyone who uses it knows that, and if they have studied the chemistry they also know that it isn’t cyclohexa-1,3,5-triene and that there is some sort of delocalisation.

The following extract is taken from Kekule’s original paper in which he proposed the ring structure of benzene: Annalen der Chemie, 137: 129 – 196 (1865). Comments are referred to by superscripts and are collected at the end.

Ring structure of benzene ... The open chain structure for benzene was rejected due to the following reasons: ... After taking into account account the above observed facts, Kekule (1865) suggested a ring structure for benzene. According to him, six carbon atoms occupied six corners of a regular hexagon in benzene and each...
