The video tutorial explores electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) reactions, focusing on the effects of substituents on benzene rings. It explains the regioselectivity in the nitration of toluene, highlighting the roles of ortho, meta, and para positions. The tutorial further delves into electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups, discussing their impact on reaction pathways and stability. Key examples include alkyl, hydroxyl, amino, nitro, and carbonyl groups, as well as halogens, which exhibit unique directing effects.
