Styrene (vinylbenzene) undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution much faster thanbenzene, and the products are found to be primarily ortho- and para-substituted styrenes.Use resonance forms of the intermediates to explain these results.
Which of the following is NOT a correct statement about electrophilic aromatic substitution mechanism? Formation of a carbocation intermediate is the rate-determining step. The carbocation intermediate contains an sp3 hybridized carbon in the ring. The addition product is a frequent minor product. Aromaticity is regained by loss of H+ Benzene functions as nucleophile.
Synthesize Novocaine from benzene and any other reagents of four carbons or fewer
Although two products (A and B) are possible when naphthalene undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution, only A is formed. Draw resonance structures for the intermediate carbocation to explain why this is observed.

p-Fluoronitrobenzene is more reactive toward hydroxide ion than is p-chloronitrobenzene. What does this tell you about the rate-determining step for nucleophilic aromatic substitution?
Which one of the statements below is wrong about Zaitsev’s Rule. a. None of the above b. The Zaitsev’s Rule demonstrate the principle of regioselectivity in elimination reactions c.
