During electrophilic aromatic substitution, a resonance-stabilized cation intermediate is formed. Groups, already present on the benzene ring, that direct ortho/para further stabilize this intermediate by participating in the resonance delocalization of the positive charge. Assume that the following group is present on a benzene ring at position 1 and that you are brominating the ring at positon 4. In the box below draw the structure of the resonance contributor that shows this group actively participating in the charge delocalization. -NH2 • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • Do not include lone pairs in your answer. They will not be considered in the grading.

When naphthalene undergoes an irreversible electrophilic aromatic substitution, such as a Friedel–Crafts acylation, the major product is the kinetic product,which proceeds through the most stable arenium ion intermediate. InSection 23.7, we mentioned that substitution is generally favored at the αposition over the β position, which means that the arenium ion is more stable when the electrophile attaches to the α position. Explain this difference in arenium ion stabilities. Hint: Draw out allresonance structures for each arenium ion intermediate. Does each one have the same number of resonancestructures? How many resonance structures of each intermediate preserve the aromaticity?
