Two charge-transfer complexes are formed during the course of this reaction.261 The first will be 340 and the second (341) is generated during loss of the proton in the aromatization process. In the chlorination reaction, the rate-determining step (the slowest) is conversion of the charge transfer complex to the Wheland ctimplex (340 - complex).269 Fonuation of 340. conversion of the Wheland complex to 341, and elimination of the proton are all fast processes.
