Aromatic heterocycles normally undergo "aromatic heterocyclic substitution."

Explanation:

And whole text books have been written about their reactivity, and you are going to have to consult your text.

"Pyrrole," C_5H_4NH; "furan," C_5H_4NO; and "thiophen," C_5H_4S, are so-called pi-"excessive" aromatic heterocycles because the lone-pairs on the heteroatom is delocalized around the ring, making these species MUCH more nucleophilic than the benzene system.
