Benzene has six pi electrons delocalized in sex p-orbitals that overlap above and below the plane of the ring. These loosely held pi electrons make the benzene ring e^(-) rich and so it reacts with electrophiles. Benzene follows huckel's rule so it is specially stable. Reactions that keep the aromatic ring intact are therefore favoured. Which of the following is less reactive than benzene in electrophilic aromatic substitution
