Concept Introduction:
Electrophilic substitution reaction is a type of reaction in which a particular group or atom in a compound is replaced by electrophile. An electrophile is a species that is deficient of electrons.
Aromaticity is the property of organic compounds having cyclic and planar structure with
Being an electron rich
Benzene with positive charge on one of its Carbon atom is known as arenium carbocation.
The delocalizing pi electrons neutralize the positive charge and in the process positive charge forms again. The process of formation of carbocation and neutralizing the positive charge simultaneously occurs. The phenomenon of stabilizing and sustaining the positive charge on the benzene by delocalizing electrons is known as “resonance”.
Benzene undergoes electrophilic substitution reaction when treated with Iodine and
