  4. Cyclopentane

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following compounds can undergo electrophilic substitution reactions?
  • Step 1: Understand what electrophilic substitution reactions are. These are reactions where an electrophile replaces a hydrogen atom in a compound.
  • Step 2: Identify the compounds in the question. Look for compounds that have a stable aromatic system, like benzene.
  • Step 3: Recognize that benzene has a special structure that allows it to maintain stability even after losing a hydrogen atom.
  • Step 4: Determine if the other compounds have a similar aromatic structure. If they do not, they cannot undergo electrophilic substitution.
  • Step 5: Conclude that only benzene can undergo electrophilic substitution reactions because of its stable aromatic system.
