Chapter 15: "Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution" (EAS) Worksheet

The document summarizes key concepts about electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) reactions. EAS reactions involve benzene rings serving as electron donors, undergoing electrophilic addition. Typical EAS reactions are electrophilic aromatic substitutions, analogous to alkene reactions being electrophilic additions. The document includes an incomplete table on substituent groups' effects on EAS reactivity as either activating or deactivating in the ortho/para or meta positions. It also prompts drawing the resonance structures for the nitrated benzene cation.
