In electrophilic aromatic substitution, the benzene ring acts as an electron donor (Lewis base or nucleophile) and reacts with an electron acceptor (Lewis acid or electrophile). The result of electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions is that an aromatic hydrogen is replaced by some other atom or functional group.
Remember that you get a methyl group, CH3, by removing a hydrogen from methane, CH4. You get a phenyl group, C6H5, by removing a hydrogen from a benzene ring, C6H6. Like a methyl or an ethyl group, a phenyl group is always attached to something else. Aromatic compounds with only one group attached to the benzene ring. Cases where the name is based on benzene. chlorobenzene.
