Substituents on an aromatic ring can have several effects on electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Substituents can activate or deactivate the ring to substitution, donate or withdraw electrons inductively, donate or withdraw electrons through resonance, and direct substitution either to the ortho/para or to the meta positions. From the lists of substituents, select the substituents that correspond to each indicated property. The substituents are written as -XY, where X is the atom directly bound to the aromatic ring. These substituents activate the ring These substituents withdraw electrons towards substitution. through resonance. -CN V -COOH -CH, -OCH, O -NO2 -NH, V -CN -NHCOCH, Incorrect These substituents give ortho/para-directed substitution. -F -CH

Aromatic heterocyclic chemistry: State whether the following drugs are aromatic heterocycles and if they follow the 4 aromaticity rules (unsaturation, (4n + 2)pi electrons, cyclic and flat/planar), NAME ANY HETEROCYCLES. Draw the structure of the core of any aromatic heterocycles in the drug. Riociguat, Imatinib, Clopidogrel, Glatiramer acetate, Axitinib
Five-membered aromatic heterocycles with one heteroatom undergo electrophilic substitutions preferentially at the α-position (C-2 and C-5) rather than at the β-position (C-3 and C-4). Explain?
Biaryls, compounds containing two aromatic rings joined by a C–C bond, can often be efficiently made by two different Suzuki couplings; that is, either aromatic ring can be used to form the organoborane needed for coupling. In some cases, however, only one route is possible. With this in mind, synthesize each of the following biaryls using benzene as the starting material for each aromatic ring. When more than one route is possible, draw both of them. You may use any required organic or inorganic reagents.
Some of the groups pre-bonded to an aromatic ring cause electrophilic aromatic substitution to occur mainly at the ortho and para sites. Others lead to the meta location. Is that true or false?
Cycloheptatrienyl radical (C7H7∙) contains a cyclic, completely conjugated system of π electrons. Is it aromatic? Is it antiaromatic? Explain.

Which of the following statements is FALSE? Select one: a. Aromatics are compound that are conjugated. b. The Cs and Hs in an aromatic compound are equivalent. c. The pi electrons are delocalized around an aromatic ring. d. None of the statements is false.
Information about the mechanism of the reaction undergone by a series of substituted benzenes can be obtained by plotting the logarithm of the observed rate constant determined at a particular pH against the Hammett substituent constant (s) for the particular substituent. The s value for hydrogen is 0. Electron- donating substituents have negative s values; the more strongly electron donating the substituent, the more negative its s value. Electron-withdrawing substituents have positive s values; the more strongly electron withdrawing the substituent, the more positive its s value. The slope of a plot of the logarithm of the rate constant versus s is called the r (rho) value. The r value for the hydroxide-ion-promoted hydrolysis of a series of meta- and para-substituted ethyl benzoates is +2.46; the r value for amide formation for the reaction of a series of meta- and para-substituted anilines with benzoyl chloride is -2.78. a. Why does one set of experiments give a positive r value,…

Furan undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution more readily than benzene; mild reagents and conditions are sufficient.For example, furan reacts with bromine to give 2-bromofuran. Explain why furan undergoes bromination (and other electrophilic aromatic substitutions) primarily at the 2-position.
