Presence of a nitro group in a benzene ring:

A

Activates the ring towards electrophilic substituion

B

Renders the ring basic

C

Deactivates the ring towards nucleophilic substitution

D

Deactivates the ring towards electrophilic substitution

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`-NO_(2)`group shows`-M`effect,so withdraw the electron density from the ring and hence deactive the ring towards electrophilic aromatic substitution.
