Question

why electrophiles group attack at ortho para and ortho position​

Answer 1

• Deactivating group (meta directors)
• Deactivating group (meta directors)we can see from the mechanism above that when there is an electron withdraw from the ring, that leaves the carbons at the ortho, para positions with a positive charge which is unfavorable for the electrophile, so the electrophile attacks the carbon at the meta positions.
