Activating groups "speed up" electrophilic substitution of
aromatics and deactivating groups "slow down" electrophilic
substitution.
1. Ignoring halogens, what is different between the composition
of the ortho-para directors and the meta directors?
2. What causes the deactivating groups to "slow down" the
substitution? What may be used to speed up these reactions?
3. How does carbocation stabilization affect the orientation of
the products in each orientation?
Activating groups Deactivating groups ortho-, para- directors -hydroxyl (OH) -alkoxy (OR) -amino (NH2, NR)...

Question 7 Which of the following statements are true about the deactivating nitroso substituent in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions? NFO The nitroso group is predicted to be an ortho/para-directing group. Resonance withdrawing effects can explain why the nitroso group is deactivating. The nitroso group is predicted to be an meta-directing group. Inductive withdrawing effects can explain why the nitroso group is deactivating.

Label the following as activating (A) or deactivating (D), and then also as ortho/para directors (OP) or meta directors (M). Write the answer below each group. N "Here with other ty A/D? = = = = OP/M? = f) Using resonance structures, explain why a nitro group is "meta-directing" (i.e. does the nitro group actually affect the meta positions?) g) As mentioned in class, the halogens are a bit anomalous as substituents on the aromatic ring: they are deactivating groups,...

(V) 10pts. When aniline (C6H3-NH2) reacts with bromonium ion (NO2. the nitro group can become bonded to a carbon at one of the three possible positions: ortho, meta, and para to the -NH2 group in the benzene ring. Consider meta and ortho attack and draw RESONANCE STRUCTURES for the carbocations that result when NO2 undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution to aniline. Then, on the basis of these resonance structures, explain whether the --NH2, group.is meta director, or ortho/para director. Show which...
