Aromatic compounds can be halogenated using molecular halogen in the presence of an acid. Benzene when treated with molecular bromine in the presence of ferric chloride gives bromobenzene. Naphthalene undergoes bromination with bromine in acetic acid. The kinetics of this reaction is interesting. The kinetic expression involves a term that is second order in bromine for the reaction in glacial acetic acid, and first
