We have covered a variety of electrophilic substitution reactions involving aromatic nucleophiles derived from benzene. Electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions also occur with heteroaromatic compounds. Explain using resonance structures why the bromination of pyridine occurs to form 3-bromopyridine as essentially the only product. Br2 H2SO4/SO3 90% yield
