The reaction which involves the direct replacement of an atom or group of atoms in an organic molecule by another atom or group of atom without any change in the remaining part of the molecule, is known as substitution reaction. The reaction,
$\left(C H_{3}\right)_{3} C-B r \xrightarrow{ H _{2} O }\left(C H_{3}\right)_{3} C-O H$
is an example of substitution reaction.
