Aromatic compounds like benzene undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions (EAS). This process involves the reaction of an electrophile with the aromatic ring, leading to the formation of various derivatives. Examples include halogenation, nitration, and sulphonation of benzene, each with

The Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky (HVZ) reaction is a unique halogenation method for carboxylic acids at the alpha carbon, involving phosphorus tribromide and bromine. This mechanism, named after its chemists, requires severe conditions and can lead to specific products or limitations such as beta unsaturat

Alkanes, known for their low reactivity, can undergo halogenation in the presence of sunlight or UV light to form halogenoalkanes. This reaction is significant due to the non-polar nature of alkane bonds and highlights a rare reactivity pathway for these compounds. The process of bond fission, parti
