Orientation of mono substituted benzene compounds towards electrophilic substitution reaction.

Orientation of mono substituted benzene compounds towards electrophilic substitution reaction.

Theory of Reactivity of benzene

The rate of electrophilic substitution reaction depends upon the energy of activation i.e. difference in energy of of ground state and transition state of the reactant. So the rate of reaction depends on the electrons which are availability in the benzene ring. If the ring is electron rich (-ve), the electrophilic attack is faster. If … Read more
