Amino group, -NH_(2) is ortho, para-directing group in case of aromatic electrophilic substitution but nitration of aniline produce a good amount of m-nitroaniline. This is because

Which of the following is an o-, p- directing but deactivating substituent in an electrophilic aromatic substitution :

In the electrophilic substituion of benzene ring, the second substituent is directed by the group already present. Electron releasing groups (+I and +M) are ortho-para-directing and activating, whreas the electron withdrawing groups (-I and -M) are meta-directing and deactivating. Halogens are placed under the category of +T (Tautomeric) groups because they have -Ibdyctuve abd +Mesomeric effect. These groups are deactivating but ortho-para-directing. In the introduction of third group to the benzene ring, the product of minimum steric gindrance is formed. A deactivating group in electrophilic substitution reaction :
