What is Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution about?
This chapter discusses electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions of benzene. It explains the general mechanism involving attack of an electrophile on the benzene ring, forming a carbocation intermediate that loses a proton. Specific reactions covered include nitration, sulfonation, halogenation, and Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation. The chapter also discusses how substituents on the ring can activate or deactivate it towards these reactions.
