Question

The meta-directing group in the following is (A) -OH (B) -NH2 (C) -CH3 (D) -NO2

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

NO2 group is the electron withdrawing group due to which electron density in the ring decreases. Therefore meta positions are preferred over ortho / para positions.

Q. The meta-directing group in the following is

$- O H$

$- N H_{2}$

$- C H_{3}$

$- N O_{2}$

$N O_{2}$ group is the electron withdrawing group due to which electron density in the ring decreases. Therefore meta positions are preferred over ortho / para positions.
