Other groups besides H+ can act as leaving groups in electrophilic aromatic substitution. One of the best is the trimethylsilyl group, Me3Si-. For example, treatment of Me3SiC6H5 with CF3COOD rapidly forms C6H5D. What properties of a silicon-carbon bond allow you to predict this kind of reactivity?
