Question

Write electrophilic substitution reactions of Methoxy Benzene.

Answer 1

Answer:

Anisole undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction at a faster speed than benzene, which in turn reacts more quickly than nitrobenzene. The methoxy group is an ortho/para directing group, which means that electrophilic substitution preferentially occurs at these three sites.
