Electrophilic substitution occurs in furan, thiophene, and pyrrole because these compounds have a lone pair of electrons on the heteroatom (oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen), making them nucleophilic and reactive towards electrophiles. The aromaticity of these compounds is also maintained during the substitution reaction, making them favorable candidates for electrophilic substitution.
