What is Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution of Benzene about?

1) Benzene undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution when reacted with strong electrophiles. This generates a carbocation which is resonance stabilized. 2) The carbocation, or sigma complex, is then protonated to regain aromaticity, leading to substitution of the electrophile on the benzene ring. 3) Bromination, chlorination, nitration, sulfonation, and other electrophilic aromatic substitutions proceed by this general mechanism, and generate substituted aromatic products.
