MCQ
In electrophilic substitution reaction nitrobenzene is
- APara-directing
- BOrtho-directing
- ✓Meta-directing
- DNot reactive and does not undergo any substitution
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Meta-directing
c
Nitrobenzene is meta-directing for an electrophilic substitution reaction since it has an electron-withdrawing group (i.e $NO _2$ ). There is less electron density at ortho- and para- position and more electron density at meta- position. That's why it is meta directing.
