Question

During electrophilic aromatic substitution, why is substitution at the 2 position favored over the 3 position in pyrrole?

Accepted Answer

Substitution at carbon 2 allows for more resonance stabilization.

Answer

Carbon 3 is less accessible to electrophiles.

Answer

Substitution at carbon 2 prevents loss of electron density.

Answer

Substitution at carbon 3 disrupts aromaticity more significantly.
