Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution Reaction Mechanism - Meisenheimer Complex & Benzyne Intermediate

This organic chemistry video tutorial discusses the mechanism of nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions. The first type involves a resonance stabilized carbanion intermediate known as the meisenheimer complex which is formed whenever the Benzene ring derivative contains a strong electron withdrawing group such as a nitro group which activates the ring toward SnAr reactions. The Benzyne intermediate occurs when there are no strong electron withdrawing groups present. A strong base / nucleophile such as NaNH2 is needed which will produce an aniline derivative. The benzyne intermediate pathway is an elimination-addition reaction where as the pathway that proceeds through the meisenheimer complex is an addition elimination reaction. This video contains plenty of examples and practice problems.

    at 6:55 when you drew the second resonance structure, I believe you meant to put the double bond formed by the lone pair on the two left most carbons but accidentally put it on the top carbon, making it a carbon with 5 bonds total. Just incase anyone caught that and was confused.

    The reaction can occur without the EWG. If there's an EWG at the ortho/para position the reaction proceeds through the "Meisenheimer complex" intermediate. If there's no EWG the reaction can proceed through the "Benzyne" intermediate. May wanna look up these terms.
