3. N,N-Dimethylaniline is an extremely reactive aromatic substrate and readily reacts with even very weak electrophiles. This reactivity is greatly diminished by introduction of alkyl substituents in the ortho position, as in o-methyl-N,N-dimethylaniline. Considering what you know about the theory of aromaticity, conjugation, pi bonding, as well as electron- withdrawing and electron-donating groups, explain this difference in reactivity.
