$please \: explain \: this$
Although chlorine is an electron withdrawing group yet it is Ortho - para directing in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. why ❓​

Answer 1

although chlorine is an electron withdrawing group yet it is ortho para directing in electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.explain. Answer: The -I effect of chlorine withdraws electrons from the benzene ring. Hence tends to destabilize the intermediate carbocation formed during the electrophilic substitution.

Answer 2

$\huge \pink{hello \: mate}$

The -I effect of chlorine withdraws electrons from the benzene ring. Hence tends to destabilize the intermediate carbocation formed during the electrophilic substitution. Conversely Cl donates its lone pair of electrons to the aromatic ring and hence increase the electron density at ortho and para positions.
