Keywords: EAS mechanism, EDG and EWG, Friedel-Crafts
Description: Covers electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) reactions in detail.
It includes many, many resonance exercises that show why:
- Electron donating groups (EDG) are ortho-para directors
- Electron withdrawing groups (EWG) are meta-directors
- Pyrrole undergoes EAS at C-2 and not C-3
- Pyridine undergoes EAS at C-3 and not C-2 or C-4
- Naphthalene undergoes EAS at C-1 and not C-2
