Question

Please answer as soon as possible

Select the statement that is true about the electrophilic aromatic substitution and the molecule shown. Select one: a. The carbonyl carbon is activating. The CH, group is deactivating. Therefore, the CH, group will dictate the location of the reaction. b. Both groups are activating. Therefore, the reaction will occur ortho to both groups. c. The carbonyl carbon is deactivating. The CH2 group is activating. Therefore, the CH2 group will dictate the location of the reaction. d. The carbonyl carbon is activating. The CH, group is deactivating. Therefore, the carbonyl carbon will dictate the location of the reaction. e. An appropriate statement is not available.

Answer 1

-M group (deactivating) +H group Cactivating group)

Activating group are those which increases electron density in aromatic ring. So they activate ring for electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. +M , +H and +I group are activating group.

Deactivating group deactivate ring for electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. -M , -H and -I groups are deactivating group.
