Electron withdrawing group on aniline makes it less/more basic.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether an electron-withdrawing group (EWG) makes aniline more or less basic, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Aniline's Structure**: Aniline is an aromatic amine with the formula C6H5NH2. The nitrogen atom has a lone pair of electrons that can be donated, which contributes to its basicity. 2. **Define Basicity**: ...

If aromatic ring is substituted by more than one group then electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction take place according to more activating group. The group which donates electrons to aromatic ring knwn as activating group and which withdraw electrons from the ring is called electron withdrawing group. generally all lectron releasing groups activates benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution and electron withdrawing groups deactivates ring towards electrophilic substitutions.
