Q37. What do you mean by ortho and para directing groups?
Explain with the help of resonating structures.
Answers
Explanation:
in benzene for example,para directing means directing an incoming nucleophile towards exactly the opposite side of the refence carbon taken.
and similarly ortho direction means directing nucleophile exactly the adjacent position of the reference carbon taken
Answer:
A monosubstituted benzene, when treated with an electrophile, could undergo three electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Each reaction yields a disubstituted benzene as the organic product, which can be identified using the descriptors ortho, meta, and para
Ortho, para directing groups are electron-donating groups; meta directing groups are electron-withdrawing groups. The halide ions, which are electron-withdrawing but ortho, para directing, are the exception.
