Please explain the reactivity and orientation effects observed in each heterocycle. a. Pyridine is less reactive than benzene in electrophilic aromatic substitutions and yields 3-substituted products. b. Pyrrole is more reactive than benzene in electrophilic aromatic substitutions and yields 2-substituted products.

Why pyridine is less reactive than benzene towards electrophilic substitution reaction?

Rank each of the following compounds in decreasing order of reactivity towards Friedel-Crafts alkylation. Most reactive = 1; if a compound will not react, rank it as "non" rather than assigning a numerical value. Compound A: fluorobenzene Compound B: phenol Compound C: benzaldehyde Compound D: acetophenone
