100 Aromatic Compounds Quiz Batch 07Aromatic compounds are organic molecules containing conjugated pi-electron systems, typically following Huckel's rule (4n+2 π electrons). These compounds, such as benzene, exhibit resonance stability and unique chemical properties. Widely used in pharmaceuticals, dyes, and petrochemicals, aromatic compounds play a crucial role in organic chemistry. 1 / 32Which of the following is true about the Sandmeyer reaction? a) It is used to introduce halogens onto the benzene ring b) It is a nucleophilic substitution reaction c) It requires a diazonium salt d) All of the above 2 / 32In nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr), the leaving group is more easily displaced when: A) A strong electron-donating group is present at the ortho position B) A strong electron-withdrawing group is present at the ortho or para position C) The benzene ring contains multiple alkyl substituents D) A weak base is used as a nucleophile 3 / 32Which of the following deactivates benzene towards electrophilic aromatic substitution?
