Explain the following observation: Electrophilic substitution in case of aromatic amines takes place more readily than benzene. |
| Answer» It is because `-NH_(2)` group is electron releasing which increases electron density on benzene ring and there is `-ve` charge at o- and p- position in resonating structure of aniline. Thus, it activates the benzene ring for electrophilic substitution. | |
