Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution - Benzyne Intermediate and Meisenheimer Complex

This organic chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions. It discusses the conversion of para-chloronitrobenzene into para-nitrophenol using an addition elimination reaction mechanism that passes through a resonance stabilized carbanion intermediate known as the Meisenheimer complex. This video also discusses the conversion of para-bromotoluene into meta and para-methylaniline using an elimination addition reaction mechanism that passes through the benzyne intermediate.
