The amino group is ortho, para directing and powerful activating substituent so that aryl amines undergo the typical electrophilic substitution reactions readily. In fact, the rate of these reactions is so great that in certain cases poly-substitution, rather than mono-substitution occurs, even under mild conditions. If the reactions in such cases have have to be arrested at the mono-substitution stage, the activating influence of the –NH2 group has to be arrested. |
