MCQ
Presence of a nitro group in a benzene ring
  • deactivates the ring towards electrophilic substitution
  • B
    activates the ring towards electrophilic substitution
  • C
    renders the ring basic
  • D
    deactivates the ring towards nucleophilic substitution.

Answer

Correct option: A.
deactivates the ring towards electrophilic substitution
a
Nitro group is electron withdrawing group. It withdraws electron from benzene rings towards itself such that the pi electrons of benzene are transferred to the nitro group this deactivate the benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution reaction.
