Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution (Aromatic compounds) Ar-H = aromatic compound 1. Nitration Ar-H + HNO3, H2SO4 → Ar-NO2 + H2O 2. Sulfonation Ar-H + H2SO4, SO3 → Ar-SO3H + H2O 3. Halogenation Ar-H + X2, Fe → Ar-X + HX 4. Friedel-Crafts alkylation Ar-H + R-X, AlCl3 → Ar-R + HX

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution   (Aromatic compounds)
                   Ar-H = aromatic compound
1. Nitration
    Ar-H    +    HNO₃, H₂SO₄   → Ar-NO₂ +   H₂O

2. Sulfonation
Ar-H + H₂SO₄, SO₃ → Ar-SO₃H + H₂O

3. Halogenation
Ar-H + X₂, Fe → Ar-X + HX

4. Friedel-Crafts alkylation
Ar-H + R-X, AlCl₃ → Ar-R + HX
