The Way Benzene Reacts
Aroma%c compounds such as benzene undergo electrophilic aroma%c subs%tu%on reac%ons.
The π electrons above and below the ring make benzene a nucleophile.

Benzene Undergoes Subs%tu%on, Not Addi%on
The reac%on of benzene with an electrophile forms the aroma%c subs%tu%on product, not the nonaroma%c addi%on product.

• Bromina%on or chlorina%on of benzene requires a Lewis acid catalyst because benzene’s aroma%city causes it to be less reac%ve than an alkene.
• Ferric bromide (FeBr3) or ferric chloride (FeCl3) is usually used.
• FeBr3 is added as a catalyst to polarize the bromine reagent
• Benzene’s π electrons par%cipate as a Lewis base in reac%ons with Lewis acids
• The product is formed by loss of a proton, which is replaced by bromine

Addi%on Intermediate in Bromina%on
The intermediate is not aroma%c and therefore high in energy

• The ca%onic addi%on intermediate transfers a proton to FeBr4-‐ (from Br-‐ and FeBr3)
• This restores aroma%city (in contrast with addi%on in alkenes)

• Chlorine and iodine (but not fluorine, which is too reac%ve) can produce aroma%c subs%tu%on with the addi%on of other reagents to promote the reac%on
• Chlorina%on requires FeCl3 • Iodine must be oxidized to form a more powerful I+ species

• The nucleophile adacks the carbon bonded to the leaving group from a trajectory that is nearly perpendicular to the aroma%c ring.
• The leaving group is eliminated, reestablishing the aroma%city of the ring.
