Expert Solution
Step 1

Electrophilic aromatic substitution(EAS):

The aromatic compounds do not undergo addition reactions with electrophiles like on alkenes, alkynes.

The addition of electrophile to an aromatic compound, results a substitution reaction.

Hence, the addition of electrophilic reaction of aromatic compounds is called as EAS reaction.
