MCQ
Presence of a nitro group in a benzene ring:
- ✓deactivates the ring towards electrophilic substitution.
- Bactivates the ring towards electrophilic substitution.
- Crenders the ring basic.
- Ddeactivates the ring towards nucleophilic substitution.
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
deactivates the ring towards electrophilic substitution.
(a) deactivates the ring towards electrophilic substitution.
Explanation: This is because the Nitro is an electron-withdrawing group, it pulls the electron density from the ring towards itself thereby decreasing the electron density in the ring and deactivating the ring towards attack by the electrophile.
