Identify ortho and para directing group from the following -underset(I ) (CHO) - underset(II)(NHCOCH_(3))- underset(III)OCH_(3)-underset(IV)(SO_(3)H)

(A) : With Br_(2) water, aniline gives 2,4,6 tribromoaniline. (R): In aniline, NH_(2) group is ring activating and ortho and para directing group.

The typical reaction of benzene and other aromatic compounds is electrophilic substitution. Presence of electron donating group activates the ring towards electrophilic substitution, while presence of electron withdrawing group deactivates the ring towards electrophilic substitution but at the same time activates the ring towards nucleophilic substitution. Some groups are predominantly meta directing and all of these are deactivating. Except halogen, most of the o- and p- directing groups are activating groups. (E.A.S = Electrophilic aromatic substation) Presence of nitro group in benzene ring:

(E.A.S = Electrophilic aromatic substation) The reaction of toluene with Cl_2 in presence of FeCl_3 gives predominantly:

Explain the action of ortho of para directing groups and meta directing groups while monosubstituted benzene gets convered to disubstituted benzene.

The nitro group is a very strong deactivating group Nitro benzene undergoes nitration at a rate only 10-4 times that of benzene. The nitro group is a meta-directing group. When nitrobenzene is nitrated with nitration mixture 93% of meta substituted product is formed. Ortho-para directing groups are

Amino group in anilines it ortho and para directing. But on nitration, aniline gives an appreciable amount of m-nitroaniline alos. Explain.

The strongest ortho - para and strongest meta - directing groups respectively are

A benzene ring deactivated by strong and moderate electron withdrawing group that is, any meta directing group, is not electron rich enough to undergo Friedel-Crafts reactions. Friedel-Crafts reaction also do not occur with NH, group as it react with AlCl, and produce deactivating group Which of the following compounds undergo Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction?

A benzene ring deactivated by strong and moderate electron withdrawing group that is, any meta directing group, is not electron rich enough to undergo Friedel-Crafts reactions. Friedel-Crafts reaction also do not occur with NH, group as it react with AlCl, and produce deactivating group Which of the following sequence of reaction is correct for the synthesis of product.
