  9. 12.2Mechanistic PrinciplesofElectrophilic Aromatic Substitution

  10. E+ H H E H H H H H + H H H H H Step 1: attack of electrophileon -electron system of aromatic ring highly endothermic carbocation is allylic, but not aromatic

  11. H H H E H H H+ Step 2: loss of a proton from the carbocationintermediate highly exothermic this step restores aromaticity of ring H H E H + H H H

  12. H H E H + H H H H H H H + E+ + H+ H H H E H H H H

  13. Based on this general mechanism: what remains is to identify the electrophile in nitration, sulfonation, halogenation, Friedel-Crafts alkylation, and Friedel-Crafts acylation to establish the mechanism of specific electrophilic aromatic substitutions
