Question

how do you explain the ortho para directing nature of CH3 group through it lack electron pair?​

Answer 1

Answer:

CH3 is ortho-para directive group because it shows + Hyperconjugation effect, which increases the electron density at ortho and para positions of the ring.

Answer 2

The ortho para directing nature of CH₃ group through it lack electron pair

Explanation:

• The methyl group connected to the ring, will increase the electron density at ortho and para positions through resonance with out converting anything on the meta position.
• Thus the attacking reagent at once attacks on the electron rich site , as a consequence the methyl group is ortho directing. you could easily apprehend the motion of electrons through following the direction of arrows in structures (I), (II) and (III).
• There isn't any shape wherein the electrons may be visible on meta position.
