MCQ
The most common type of reaction in aromatic compounds is
- AElimination reaction
- BAddition reaction
- ✓Electrophilic substitution reaction
- DRearrangement reaction
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Electrophilic substitution reaction
c
Aromatic compounds or arenes undergo substitution reactions, in which the aromatic hydrogen is replaced with an electrophile, hence their reactions proceed via electrophilic substitution.
Aromatic compounds or arenes undergo substitution reactions, in which the aromatic hydrogen is replaced with an electrophile, hence their reactions proceed via electrophilic substitution.
Arenes contain double bonds just like alkenes but they do not undergo electrophilic addition because these would result to their loss of ring aromaticity.
