Sort the following molecules by whether the substituent group is ortho/para or meta directing for electrophilic aromatic substitution
4. Answer the following questions based on the electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction shown below. door a. (2.5pts) Based on the identity of the substituent on the starting material and its interaction with the aromatic ring, is this substituent an activator or deactivator? Briefly explain your answer and support your answer with structures b. (5.5pts) Draw all of the resonance contributors of the o-complexes that lead to each of the three possible products. c. (0.5p) Based on the structures drawn in...
(6 pts) The -NH2 group is listed in our textbook as the strongest activator in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. However, -NHCOCH3 is listed as a moderate activator and -cONH2 is listed as a moderate deactivator. Using resonance structures show why this statement is correct.
Substituents on an aromatic ring can have several effects on electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Substituents can activate or deactivate the ring to substitution, donate or withdraw electrons inductively donate or withdraw electrons through resonance, and direct substitution either to the ortho/para or to the meta positions. From the following lists, select the substituents that have the indicated property. The substituents are written as -XY, where X is the atom directly bound to the aromatic ring Activation of the ring towards...
