The electrophilic aromatic substitution ...

The electrophilic aromatic substitution of a compound `C_(6)H_(5)Y` produces mainly a meta-disubstituted product. Among the following which one could be the substituent Y?

A

`-NH_(3)`

B

`-COOH`

C

`-CH_(3)`

D

`-Cl`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The `-NH_(2)` group is strongly activating the `-CH_(3)` group is weakly activating and the `-Cl` group is weakly deactivating all these are ortho-para directors one the other hand `-CO OH` group is moderately deactivating and has meta directing influence.
