Select the correct statement(s) given below:
(I) Both - Cl group as well as - `OCOCH_3` group deactivate benzene ring towards electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions.

A

I and II only

B

II and III only

C

II, III and IV only

D

All four are correct

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
(I) in the case of-CI,(-I) effect is the dominating factor, so it deactivates the benzene ring weakly. But -OCOCH, activates the benzene ring because lone pair on oxygen atom increases electron density. on the benzene ring.

The hydration of alkenes in the presence of acids proceed via carbocation mechanisms as given below: and that carbocation is formed which is most stable, It is observed that alkenes are more reactive than alkynes towards any electrophile. This reaction, i.e., the electrophilic addition reaction of alkenes and alkynes with symmetrical addendum This shows that all reactions of alkenes and alkynes for electrophilic addition reactions may either take place via intermediates of transition state.

Arene diazonium salts are more stable than alkanediazonium salts due to dispersal of the positive charge on the benzene ring. Obviously, electron-donating groups favour diazotisation by retarding the decomposition of diazonium salts to phenyl cation. The high reactivity of arenediazonium salts is due to the excellent leaving ability of the diazo group as N_2 gas. Consider the following ions: The reactivity of these ions towards azo coupling reactions under similar conditions is
