2. Each of the six compounds shown at the bottom of the page has two aromatic (benzene) rings. In each
case the two rings are different and are labled A & B. If an electrophilic substitution, such as nitration
or bromination, is carried out on each compound, then identify which ring (A or B) will be preferentially
attacked, and indicate the orientation of the substitution (ortho/para, meta or all sites).
