Interpretation:
The mechanism for the following reaction has to be outlined –
Concept Introduction:
Electrophilic substitution reaction is a type of reaction in which a particular group or atom in a compound is replaced by electrophile. An electrophile is an species that is deficient of electrons.
Sulfonation of benzene is a type of electrophilic substitution reaction in which one of the six Hydrogen atoms in benzene is substituted by
is reverse reaction of the Sulfonation of benzene. So to predict the mechanism for the above reaction the mechanism of the Sulfonation reaction of benzene has to be understood clearly.
The reaction of sulfonation of benzene can be represented as -
