Electrophilic aromatic substitutions proceed in two stages. 1. Attack of the aromatic ring on the electrophile. 2. Regeneration of the stable aromatic system by loss of a positively charged unit, usually a proton. Br Br₂/FeBr3 Draw one resonance structure for the intermediate formed when the electrophile is attacked by benzene in the reaction above.

Question 17 Consider the mechanism that converts the starting material to the product and identify the true statement. OCH, OCH3 a CH CH,CI AICI3 The electrophile generated is the methyl carbocation. The substitution is ortho because the methyl group stabilizes the positive charge that develops in the on carbon b by induction. The substitution is ortho because the methoxy group stabilizes the positive charge that develops on carbon a by resonance. A proton is removed from carbon c to re-aromatize the ring.

During a Friedel-Crafts alkylation, the order in which the reagents are mixed is important. Generally, these reactions are done by slowly adding the alkylating agent to the aromatic component. What is the advantage of mixing the ingredients in this order rather than slowly adding the aromatic component to the alkylating agent? + AICI3 + AICI3 add add slowly slowly
An organic chemistry experiment involves a nucleophilic substitution (SN2) reaction using 1-iodobutane and 2-naphthoxide ion. The 2-naphthoxide ion is generated from 2-naphthol and sodium hydroxide in an ethanol solvent. The experiment includes steps like generating the nucleophile, conducting the SN2 reaction, and analyzing the product using 1H NMR spectroscopy.
