Option C is correct.
C is not true because benzene is a neucleophile in electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.
Benzene will engage in electrophile aromatic substitution reactions. Which of the following statemtns is NOT TRUE...
Which of the following is not a correct statement about the electrophilic aromatic substitution mechanism. Select one: a. Benzene functions as a nucleophile. b. Aromaticity is regained by the loss of H+. c. All carbons in the ring of the arenium intermediate are sp2 hybridized. d. An activating group will decrease the nucleophilicity of benzene. e. All statements are correct.
+ H+ Electrophilic aromatic substitution is a two-step process. In the first step an electrophile, here generically shown as Y , reacts with the aromatic ring to form a resonance-stabilized carbocation intermediate. In the second step, loss of a proton from the site of attack restores aromaticity to the ring and completes the reaction. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing Instructions no XT + H H- A
In mechanism for electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions of aromatic compounds, what is the driving force for deprotonation in the last step? To neutralize any base that is present To allow for addition across the ring's double bonds. To make room for the electrophile To restore aromaticity to the ring system. To make the ring into a better nucleophile
Aromatic heterocycles also undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. When furan is treated with an electrophile, the electrophile is installed only at the C-2 position. Explain why this reaction occurs only at the C-2 position, rather than the C-3 positions.(explain in words and resonance structures) Question 2 (10 pts). Aromatic heterocycles can undergo EAS reactions. When furan (below) is treated with an electrophile, an EAS reaction occurs in which the electrophile is installed only at carbon 2, not carbon 3. Explain...

Provide the reaction for chlorination of benzene using electrophilic aromatic substitution, it's complete mechanism including formation of "super" electrophile, and a completely labeled reaction coordinate energy diagram. 1.
Nitration of an aromatic ring involves an electrophilic substitution reaction. Draw the structure of the electrophile that is attacked by the aromatic ring and the intermediate formed after attachment of the electrophile to the ring. Be sure to show formal charges.
Select the statements below that are TRUE. A: Benzene and its derivatives tend to undergo electrophilic aromatic addition reactions. B: Benzene and its derivatives tend to undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. C: Substitution reactions have energies of activation that are very low. D: Dienes and alkenes are much more stable than benzene rings. E: Addition reactions destroy the integrity of the benzene ring. F: Benzene and its derivatives undergo a type of substitution reaction in which a hydrogen atom is...
Solve for the theoretical yield of this prelab4 (1).png4 (2).pngThis experiment involves three redox reactions. In the first, iodide ion and hypochlorite react in the presence of three protons to form iodine, which is the source of \(\mathrm{I}^{+}\). This leaves some \(\mathrm{I}\) ' behind, which combines with unused \(\mathrm{I}_{2}\) to form \(\mathrm{I}_{3}^{-} . \mathrm{I}_{3}^{-}\) is reduced to water-soluble I by thiosulfate ion, which stops the reaction.The line from the benzene ring connecting to the I means that you do not...
Friedel-Crafts Acylation of Ferrocene "riedel-Crafts reactions are examples of electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. The eaction involves the substitution of hydrogen on the aromatic ring system by an electrophilic arbon species forming a new carbon-carbon bond. Friedel-Crafts reactions may be used to ntroduce either an alkyl or acyl group. Ferrocene does not undergo addition reactions typical of cyclopentadiene, but undergoes Electrophilic aromatic substitution. The Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction of ferrocene involves he addition of the acylium cation to one of the carbon...
