Question

Explain the mechanism of electrophilic substitution reaction

Answer 1

Electrophilic substitution reactions are chemical reactions in which an electrophile displaces a functional group in a compound, which is typically, but not always, a hydrogen atom. Electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions are characteristic of aromatic compounds, and are important ways of introducing functional groups of benzene rings. The other main type of electrophilic substitution reaction is an electrophilic aliphatic substitution reaction.

Answer 2

I have taken the example of preparation of alkyl hallides by electrophilic substitution reaction From alkenes.

Hope this works out !
and yes ! other main type of this is ALIPHATIC REACTIONS
