In this lesson, we will learn how to describe addition and substitution reactions of benzene and predict what products are formed.

Students will be able to

describe the reactants, catalysts, and reaction conditions of the following substitution reactions of benzene:
- halogenation,
- alkylation (Friedel–Crafts),
- nitration,
- sulfonation,
describe the reactants, catalysts, and reaction conditions of the following addition reactions of benzene:
- hydrogenation,
- halogenation,
predict the products of addition and substitution reactions of benzene,
provide examples of uses for the products of substitution reactions of benzene.
