Question

Why do the following arene oxides open in opposite directions? OCH2CH3 COOH Because the ethoxy group can stabilize the carbanion intermediate, whereas the carboxyl group can not Because the ethoxy group is electron-donating, whereas the carboxyl group is electron-withdrawing Because the carboxyl group can stabilize the carbocation intermediate, whereas the ethoxy group can not. Because the ethoxy group is electron-withdrawing, whereas the carboxyl group is electron-donating.

Answer 1

(-I effect) -cool group electron with drawing group pull the election toward itself C-ort cool a af é towards diselton Co-h -Ochetty | ethoxy group are electron donating group due to strong (Reffect) or resonance effect hence this groups donate the ~O-CH2-CH Rene ring towarde electron direction of é towards the arene oxides ö-CH₂-cthy

Best Choice because the the Carboxyl ethoxy group group is electron donating , whereas y elechon withdraway JUDULUI
