Electrophilic nitration of benzoic acid gives almost exclusively 3-nitrobenzoic acid. By drawing the appropriate resonance forms of the intermediate cations resulting from attack of [NO2]+, explain this result.
compare reactivity of the compound below to that of benzene in electrophilic aromatic substitution.
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.(a) Propose mechanisms for the bromination of furan at the 2-position and at the 3-position. Draw the resonance forms ofeach sigma complex, and compare their stabilities.(b) Explain why furan undergoes bromination (and other electrophilic aromatic substitutions) primarily at the 2-position.O Br O123furan 2-bromofuran
