Definitions:

Acetophenone

An organic compound, characterized as the simplest aromatic ketone, used as a precursor to fragrances and resins.

o,p-positions

Refers to the ortho and para positions in a benzene ring, which are locations relative to a reference point on the ring.

Aromatic Rings

Cyclic (ring-shaped) compounds containing delocalized pi electrons over the structure, leading to high stability.

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution

A type of chemical reaction where an electrophile selectively replaces a hydrogen atom in an aromatic ring, leading to the formation of a substituted aromatic compound.
