The set of meta directing functional groups from the following sets is:
Options
- A- CN , - NH 2 , - NHR , - OCH 3
- B- NO 2 , - NH 2 , - COOH , - COOR
- C- NO 2 , - CHO , - SO 3 H , - COR
- D- CN , - CHO , - NHCOCH 3 , - COOR
Correct answer
C. - NO 2 , - CHO , - SO 3 H , - COR
Step-by-step solution
Due to the presence of some groups, the electron density decreases on ortho and para positions. So, the electron density on meta position is relatively higher than ortho and para positions. Thus, these groups directs the electrophilic substitution on meta position. Due to the presence of some groups, the electron density decreases on ortho and para positions. So, the electron density on meta position is relatively higher than ortho and para positions. Thus, these groups directs the electrophilic substitution on met
