Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

This reaction is a very common reaction of aromatic compounds. The first step will be generation of an active electrophile and in next step it adds to the aromatic ring. The cynano group plays an important role in directing the position of the electrophile.

We shall discuss here the detailed mechanism of the reaction.
