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

A

`-NO_2 , -CN`

B

`-COOH, -NH_2`

C

`-NH_2,-OH`

D

`-OH, -SO_3H,-CHO`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`-NH2 and -OH` are ring activating, O, P directing groups.

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

Presence of nitro group in benzene makes further substitution

Which of the following group is meta directing and ring deactivating

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

(A) : Nitration of toluene is easier than benzene (R ) : The methyl group in toluene is electron releasing

Meta directing group in electrophilic substitution in benzene nucleus is

Electrophilic substitution on mono substituted benzene is determined by electronic effects +1, -M groups are ortho, para directors, where as -1,-M groups are meta directions. When there is a competition between inductive and mesomeric effects, the latter wins over. Electrophilic substitution on disubstituted benzene is determined by the combined effect of both groups. Usually activating group wins over deactivating group. When one of the groups has a lone pair of electrons, that will determine the product formation. Usually a third group will not enter the position in between the two existing groups due to steric reasons. Major products of nitration of acetanilide is:
