|
treating the aromatic compound with an alkyl chloride in the precence of AlCl3

-COR
|
|
|
inductive effect
|
the withdrawal or donation of electrons through a sigma bond due to electronegativity
|
|
|
resonance effect
|
the withdrawal or donation of electrons through a pi bond due to the overlap of p orbitals
|
|
|
nucleophilic aromatic substitution
|
much less common than electrophilic; occurs in aryl halides with electron-withdrawing groups
|
|
|
Meisenheimer complex
|
the anion intermediate in a nucleophilic aromatic substitution
|
|
|
