Question

The most common type of reaction in aromatic compounds is :

• A. Elimination reaction.
• B. Addition reaction.
• C. Electrophilic substitution reaction
• D. Rearrangement reaction

Answer 1

The correct option is C Electrophilic substitution reaction

Aromatic compounds or arenes undergo substitution reactions, in which the aromatic hydrogen is replaced with an electrophile, hence their reactions proceed via electrophilic substitution.
Arenes contain double bonds just like alkenes but they do not undergo electrophilic addition because these would result to their loss of ring aromaticity.
Conclusion : hence the answer is option(c) is correct.
