Aromatic Reactions - an Introduction. Activating, Deactivating, Ortho/Para-directing, Meta-directing

The best way to start to learn those aromatic reactions is here. In this video, I show you chlorination, bromination, iodination, nitration, and introduce Friedel-Crafts alkylation. Then, we take a more in-depth look at ortho- and para-directing groups vs. meta-directing groups. We then sort out activating and deactivated rings. Struggling with organic chemistry? Let me help!
