🧠 The Attack Style
Different conditions lead to different "attackers."
- UV Light: Creates Free Radicals (Substitution).
- Lewis Acid Catalyst (): Creates an Electrophile () for aromatic substitution.
- Heat: Usually simple addition or elimination.

🗺️ Analyzing the Paths
1. Option 1: Benzene with  / UV. Leads to addition (BHC) or radical substitution. Not the standard EAS.
2. Option 2: Benzene with  and an anhydrous  catalyst. The Lewis acid generates the  electrophile, which then attacks the
