Identify ortho and para directing groups from the following : ( array cccc - CHO , & - NHCOCH ₃, & - OCH ₃, & - SO ₃ H I & II & III & IV array )
Options
- AIII, IV
- BII, III
- CII, IV
- DI, IV
Correct answer
B. II, III
Step-by-step solution
Generally, electron withdrawing groups such as - ( CHO ) and ( SO ₃ H ) group are meta directing group. Whereas electron donating groups such as (- OCH ₃,- NHCOCH ₃ ) group are ortho and para directing group. These groups increase the electron density particularly at ortho and para position of the sign as given below :
