1. Predict whether the following compound is likely to be aromatic. Explain why.
2. Identify any basic nitrogen atoms in the structure.

• A. 1. The compound is aromatic because it is cyclic, planar, fully conjugated, and has 6 π electrons satisfying Huckel's rule.2. Both of the nitrogen atoms are basic.
• B. 1. The compound is aromatic because it is not cyclic, planar, fully conjugated, and has 4 π electrons satisfying Huckel's rule.2. One of the nitrogen atoms is basic.
• C. 1. The compound is nonaromatic because it is not fully conjugated and does not obey the Huckel's rule.2. Both of the nitrogen atoms are basic.
• D. 1. The compound is nonaromatic because it only has 4 π electrons, which does not satisfy Hückel's rule.2. None of the nitrogen atoms are basic.
