Draw resonance structures for the intermediates from reaction of an electrophile at the ortho, meta, and para positions of nitrobenzene. Which intermediates are most stable?
Added by David V.
Step 1
Step 1: When an electrophile attacks the meta position of nitrobenzene, the intermediate formed will have a positive charge on the carbon atom adjacent to the nitro group. Show more…

Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction. This reaction combines two processes together: the opening of an epoxide ring with a nucleophile and the addition of an electrophile to a carbon-carbon double bond. (Hint: Begin the mechanism by protonating the epoxide ring.)
