Chapter 23, Problem 23.26P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanism for the reaction between aniline and bromine is to be stated.

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. The ring deactivating group retards the electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction and ring activating group enhances the electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.
