Although chlorine is an electron withdrawing group, yet it is ortho-, para- directing in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


Since electrons density is maximum at orther and para position due to + R effect. Therefore it o,p directing in electrophilli substitution reaction.
