Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Given compound can whether work as a suitable electrophile in a nucleophilic
Concept introduction:
Criteria for nucleophilic aromatic substitution:
- An electron withdrawing group must be present on the ring.
- A leaving group should be present on the ring.
- The orientation of leaving group should be ortho or para to the electron-withdrawing group.

In the mechanism for electrophilic aromatic substitution with a diazonium ion as the electrophile, why does nucleophilic attack occur on the terminal nitrogen of the diazonium ion rather than on the nitrogen that has the formal positive charge?
Investigate the mechanism and reaction condition via which carbon side chains can be introduced into an aromatic ring via an electrophilic aromatic substitution process?
Which of the following is a correct statement regarding electrophilic aromatic substitution?
A. Many suitable electrophiles are unreactive and can be stored for long periods of time prior to use.
B. The carbocation intermediate will lose a proton to regain aromaticity, usually from a position other than the site of the electrophilic attack.
C. Formation of the carbocation intermediate has a high activation barrier due to loss of aromaticity.
D. Reformation of the aromatic ring has a low activation barrier and therefore occurs slowly.
E. The carbocation intermediate has several resonance structures and is negatively charged.
