What are the theory, conditions, and examples of electrophilic aromatic substitution?

Answer 1

What does your text say?

In your organic texts there will be whole chapters on #"electrophilic aromatic substitution"#. That chapter will certainly deal with the topic more eloquently and comprehensively than we can........ An aromatic ring, carbocyclic, or heterocyclic, #pi"-excessive"# or #pi-"deficient"# is a nucleophile, and substitutes accordingly.......

Electrophilic aromatic substitution is a reaction mechanism in which an electrophile replaces a hydrogen atom on an aromatic ring. This reaction occurs under conditions of an electron-rich aromatic ring and an electrophile, typically in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst. Examples of electrophilic aromatic substitution include nitration, halogenation, sulfonation, Friedel-Crafts alkylation, and Friedel-Crafts acylation.
