A highly endothermic step (need to overcome the resonance energy of the ring).
The carbocation is allylic, but the ring has lost aromatic character.

The second step is highly exothermic; this step restores the aromatic character of the ring and the resonance energy is regained. In this step, the proton is always removed from the carbon to which the electrophile added.

Based on this General Mechanism:
Identify the electrophile in each EAS reaction: nitration,
sulfonation,
halogenation,
Friedel-Crafts alkylation, and
Friedel-Crafts acylation.
Establish the mechanism of each specific electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.

Activating substituents increase the rate of EAS compared to that of benzene. Activating substituents are typically electron donating groups.
Deactivating substituents decrease the rate of EAS compared to benzene. Deactivating substituents are typically electron withdrawing groups.

Toluene undergoes nitration 20-25 times faster than benzene.
A methyl group is an activating substituent.

Ortho-para directors direct an incoming electrophile to positions ortho and/or para to themselves. Ortho-para directors are typically electron donating groups.
Meta directors direct an incoming electrophile to positions meta to themselves. Meta directors are typically electron withdrawing groups.

Nitration of Toluene: Interpretation
• The rate-determining intermediates for ortho and para nitration each have a resonance form that is a tertiary carbocation and it is next to the electron donating group. All of the resonance forms for the rate-determining intermediate in meta nitration are secondary carbocations and none are next to the electron donating group.
![Page 56: Chapter 12 Reactions of Arenes: Electrophilic and NucleophilicAromatic Substitution HE+ EY + HY ++++ –––– XNu+ :Nu - + :X - Copyright © The McGraw-Hill](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649efb5503460f94c0e443/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Nitration of Toluene: Interpretation
• Tertiary carbocations, being more stable, are formed faster than secondary ones. Therefore, the intermediates for attack at the ortho and para positions are formed faster than the intermediate for attack at the meta position. So, the major products are o- and p-nitrotoluene.
![Page 57: Chapter 12 Reactions of Arenes: Electrophilic and NucleophilicAromatic Substitution HE+ EY + HY ++++ –––– XNu+ :Nu - + :X - Copyright © The McGraw-Hill](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649efb5503460f94c0e443/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Nitration of Toluene: Partial Rate Factors
• The experimentally determined reaction rate can be combined with the ortho/meta/para distribution to give partial rate factors for substitution at the various ring positions.
• Expressed as a numerical value, a partial rate factor tells you by how much the rate of substitution at a particular position is faster (or slower) than at a single position of benzene.

All of the available ring positions in toluene are more reactive than a single position of benzene.A methyl group activates all of the ring positions, but the effect is greatest at the ortho and para positons.Steric hindrance by the methyl group makes each ortho position slightly less reactive than para.

All alkyl groups are activating, ortho-para directing and electron donating.
Note: The rate and regioselectivity effects in EAS of substituted benzenes is controlled by the substituent on the ring. The attacking electrophile has no influence on these effects.

A Key Point
C+H3C C+F3C
A methyl group is electron-donating and stabilizes a carbocation.
Because F is so electronegative, a CF3 group destabilizes a carbocation.

Nitration of (Trifluoromethyl)benzene: Interpretation
The rate-determining intermediates for ortho and para nitration each have a resonance form in which the positive charge is on a carbon that bears a CF3 group. Such a resonance structure is strongly destabilized. The intermediate in meta nitration avoids such a structure. It is the least unstable of three unstable intermediates and is the one from which most of the product is formed.

12.21The Addition-Elimination Mechanism
of Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution
![Page 134: Chapter 12 Reactions of Arenes: Electrophilic and NucleophilicAromatic Substitution HE+ EY + HY ++++ –––– XNu+ :Nu - + :X - Copyright © The McGraw-Hill](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649efb5503460f94c0e443/html5/thumbnails/134.jpg)
•Two step mechanism:• Step 1) nucleophile attacks aryl halide and bonds to the carbon that bears the halogen
(slow: aromaticity of ring lost in this step)• Step 2) intermediate formed in first step loses
halide(fast: aromaticity of ring restored in this step)
