The three steps involved in the electrophilic substitution reaction are,

  1. The catalysts and co-reagents serve to generate the strong electrophilic species
  2. The electrophile forms a sigma-bond to the benzene ring, generating a positively charged(carbocation) intermediate.
  3. A proton is removed from this intermediate, yielding a substituted benzene ring
