Question

Cons Part A Which of the following statements is not true? o Benzene and substituted benzenes are nucleophiles and undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution, o Pyridine is much less nucleophilic than benzene and undergoes nucleophilic aromatic substitution o Pyrrole, furan, and thiophene are more nucleophilic than benzene and only undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution o Highly deactivated, substituted benzene rings undergo nucleophilic aromatic substitution. o Pyridine fails to undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution Submit Request Answer Provide Feedback

Answer 1

This statement is not true. Pyridine is much less nucleophilic than benzene and undergoes Rucleophilie aromatic substitution. In this statement the incorrect part is that pyridine undergoes nucleophilic alomatic substitution, because pyridine also undergoes eledrophilic aromatie substitution with' electrophiles.
