PART B DIRECTING EFFECTS OF ELECTRON-DONATING GROUPS 

Note The Z group replaces an unspecified H on the aromatic ring 

Explain why FeCls is considered a catalyst in the EAS reaction in Model 4. 

In an EAS reaction, is the ti bond of the aromatic ring acting as a nucleophile or electrophile (Circle one and explain your reasoning.) 

Which do you expect to be faster, an EAS reaction in which the Z group is an Electron-
