a) Complete the generic mechanism for an electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) reaction using El as the electrophile and show how the sigma complex is resonance stabilized. Use curved arrows to show the mechanism and the conversion between resonance structures. Make sure to add any missing charges. Note the use of a generic base in the last step. b) Label the reaction coordinate diagram for a typical EAS reaction shown below by correctly placing the letter for each structure on the diagram.

Complete the mechanism for the electrophilic aromatic substitution of trifluorobenzene. Do not bother placing all of the lone pairs of electrons on the F atoms, but be sure to place them on all other atoms as needed. Do not draw curved arrows between the resonance structures.
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...
+ 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
