Among the following, the reaction that proceeds through an electrophilic substitution, is:
- A1
- B2
- C3
- D4
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Reaction A (Sandmeyer) is a radical/substitution reaction.
Reaction B is Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution. AlCl
3
generates the electrophile Cl
+
, which attacks the benzene ring.
Reaction C is a Free Radical Addition.
