The order of substitution on aromatic compounds is governed by the nature of substituents present in the aromatic ring. ... Metal cross-coupling such as Suzuki reaction allows formation of carbon-carbon bonds between two or more aromatic compounds.

Do aromatic compounds undergo substitution reactions?

Aromatic compounds or arenes undergo substitution reactions, in which the aromatic hydrogen is replaced with an electrophile, hence their reactions proceed via electrophilic substitution.

How do you name aromatic compounds with substituents?

Aromatic Compounds with a Single Substituent

If the substituent contains more than six carbons, the alkane portion is named first, and the aromatic ring portion is added as a suffix. For instance, an aromatic ring bonded to an 8-carbon chain would be 1-phenyloctane, and not octylbenzene.
