• Because of the stability of benzene’s ring structure, only substitution reactions are characteristic.

– Halogenation: substitution of one or more halogen atoms for hydrogen atoms.

• Cl2 requires FeCl3 catalyst.• Br2 requires FeBr3 catalyst.

– Nitration: substitution of one or more nitro- (-NO2) groups for hydrogen atoms.

• Requires nitric acid and concentration sulfuric acid.

– Sulfonation: substitution of one sulfonic acid (-SO3H) group for a hydrogen atom.

• SO3 reactant and concentration sulfuric acid.

• Heterocyclic aromatic compounds have at least one non-carbon atom incorporated in an aromatic ring or polynuclear aromatic compound.

– Many of these compounds are biologically important.
