Which one of these is not compatible with arenes?

1. Greater stability
2. Delocalisation of π-electrons
3. Electrophilic additions
4. Resonance

Correct answer: Electrophilic additions

Solution

Arenes, such as benzene, undergo electrophilic substitution reactions rather than electrophilic addition due to their stable aromatic system. Electrophilic addition would disrupt the aromaticity.
