Aromatic compounds undergo

Aromatic compounds undergo most easily

Assertion (A) : Unsatured organic com pounds undergo substitution reactions. Reason (R) : Unsaturated organic compounds contain = or-= bonds.

Which of the following compounds undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction

Which of the following aromatic compound will undergo nitration most easily?

The compound prepared by substitution reaction of benzene is

The compound prepared by a substitution reaction of benzene is

Alkanes undergo free radical substitution, aromatic compounds undergo electrophilic substitution and alkyl halides undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions

The typical reaction of benzene and other aromatic compounds is electrophilic substitution. Presence of electron donating group activates the ring towards electrophilic substitution, while presence of electron withdrawing group deactivates the ring towards electrophilic substitution but at the same time activates the ring towards nucleophilic substitution. Some groups are predominantly meta directing and all of these are deactivating. Except halogen, most of the o- and p- directing groups are activating groups. (E.A.S = Electrophilic aromatic substation) The reaction of toluene with Cl_2 in presence of FeCl_3 gives predominantly:
