substituent A substituent is one or a group of atoms that replaces (one or more) atoms, thereby becoming a moiety in the resultant (new) molecule. (In organic chemistry and biochemistry, the terms ''substituent'' and ''functional group'', as well as ''side ...

s on a benzene ring. All three have been synthesized by various routes: * 1-Bromo-2-chlorobenzene: from 2- chloroaniline, via diazotization followed by a Sandmeyer reaction * 1-Bromo-3-chlorobenzene: by (3-chlorophenyl)trimethylgermanium by

electrophilic substitution Electrophilic substitution reactions are chemical reactions in which an electrophile displaces a functional group in a compound, which is typically, but not always, aromatic. Aromatic substitution reactions are characteristic of aromatic compounds ...
