This question has always pissed me off. How do I know if something will add to the ring directly, or to a functional group? I know the main reactions, but halogenation is particularly pissing me off.
Take benzylic acid. What can I add to halogenate the ring vs. swap the -OH for the halogen? Catalysts?
Thanks
