Chapter 18, Problem 39PP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reactivity of the given following compound should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Electrophile: It is positively charged species which seeks for negative charge and hence accepts pair of electrons from negatively charged species (Nucleophiles) which results in the formation of chemical bond.

Electrophilic aromatic substitution is anywhere benzene acts as a nucleophile to return a substituent with a new electrophile. The benzene needs to donate electrons from within the ring.

Benzene becomes fewer reactive in EAS when deactivating groups are present on it.

Deactivating groups are often fine electron-withdrawing groups

Electrophilic substitution reactions are chemical reactions in which an electrophile displaces a useful group in a compound, which is typically, extra than not always, and a hydrogen atom. The other main type of electrophilic substitution reaction is an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.
