A scheme is proposed by means of which it is possible to assess the role of various reaction paths and the composition of the reaction products in terms of the theory of electrophilic hydroxylation of methylbenzenes by the initial addition of the electrophile at a ring carbon-carbon ? bond, controlled by charge and orbital factors, and the subsequent formation of isomeric ? complexes in ratios determined by their thermodynamic stability.
