The ortho/para directing group among the following is

A

`COOH`

B

`CN`

C

`COCH_(3)`

D

`NHCOCH_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`-COOH` and `COCH_(3)` are meta directing group due to the presence of `-overset(O)overset(||)C-` similarly – CN is also meta directing due to the presence of multiple bond while `NHCOCH_(3)` is ortho/para directing group because of less electron density over `-overset(O)overset(||)C-` group

The strongest ortho-and para-directing group among the following is

A third group is least likely to enter between two groups in the mta relationship. This is the result of steric hindrance and increases in importance with the size of the groups on the ring and with the size of the attaching species. When a meta-directing group is meta to an ortho-para directing group, the incoming group primarily goes ortho to the meta directing group rather than para. Q.

A third group is least likely to enter between two groups in the meta relationship. This is the result of steric hindrance and increases in importance with the size of the groups on the ring and with the size of the attacking species. When a Meat-directing group is meta to an ortho-para directing group, the incoming group primarily goes ortho th the meta directing group rather than para.
