Notyet answered Points out of 7.00 F. Fag question Let's review concepts that we discussed in class today. Identify whether the following statement is true or false. Electron-withdrawing groups deactivate benzene, therefore they will decrease the rate of electrophilic aromatic substitution. The first step in the mechanism is fast because aromaticity is destroyed during nucleophilic attack to produce arenlum ion. Carbocation rearrangement does not occur in the Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction. Tertiary carbocation is more stable than secondary carbocation, which is more stable than primary carbocation. Electron-donating groups activate benzene, therefore they will increase the rate of electrophilic aromatic substitution. Carbocation rearrangement via 1,2-hydride shift or 1,2-methyl shift is driven by the formation of a more stable carbocation, Table of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups must be memorized because they cannot be deduced using pattern recognition
