Question 16: Benzene has pi-bonds and should in theory undergo addition
reactions like alkenes. However, we know that benzene only takes part in
substitution reactions. Figure 16 compares the energy diagrams for the possible
addition reactions and substitution reactions of benzene. Mark the correct
statements.
Addition and substitution reactions of benzene proceeds through the same reactive
intermediate.
The substitution reaction is faster than the addition reaction.
Addition and substitution reactions of benzene are exothermic.
Both addition and substitution reactions of benzene proceeds through two transition
states.
The substitution product is more stable than the addition product due to the stability
of the aromatic ring.
