Aromatic compounds or arenes undergo substitution reactions, in which the aromatic hydrogen is replaced with an electrophile, hence their reactions proceed via electrophilic substitution. The order of substitution on aromatic compounds is governed by the nature of substituents present in the aromatic ring.
