Effect of substituents on reactivity and orientation of mono-substituted benzene compounds towards electrophilic substitution reaction
The nature and position of the substituent influence the reactivity and orientation of mono-substituted benzene compounds in electrophilic substitution reactions. Electrophilic substitution reactions involve the replacement of a hydrogen atom on the benzene ring with an electrophile. The two main types of substituents are activating and deactivating, and they can further be classified based on…
