Presence of nitro group in a benzene ring

Question

Presence of nitro group in a benzene ring (A) activates the ring towards electrophilic substitutior (B) reders the ring basic (C) deactivates the ring towards nucleophilic substitution (D) deactivates the ring towards electrophilic substitution

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

group withdraw electron from the ring shows-M effect makes ring electron deficient, thus deactivates the ring for electrophilic substitution.

Q. Presence of nitro group in a benzene ring

activates the ring towards electrophilic substitutior

reders the ring basic

deactivates the ring towards nucleophilic substitution

deactivates the ring towards electrophilic substitution

group withdraw electron from the ring shows-M effect makes ring electron deficient, thus deactivates the ring for electrophilic substitution.
