Chapter 17, Problem 17.42P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: An explanation corresponding to the given statement that α-pyrone reacts with Br2 to yield a substitution product, rather than an addition product to one of its C=C bonds is to be stated.

Concept introduction: In addition reactions the aromaticity of compound is lost, whereas in substitution it is retained. Therefore, aromatic compounds prefer substitution reaction rather than addition reaction.
