Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The curved arrow mechanism for the given electrophilic
Concept introduction:
The replacement of hydrogen atom attached to a carbon atom of electron-rich benzene ring by an electrophile is known as electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. The rate of electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction depends on the substituted group on the aromatic ring.
(b)
Interpretation:
The curved arrow mechanism for bisphenol A synthesis from acid-catalyzed reaction of acetone and two equivalent of phenol is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The replacement of hydrogen atom attached to a carbon atom of electron-rich benzene ring by an incoming electrophile is known as electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. The rate of electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction depends on the substituted group on the aromatic ring.
