MCQ
The ortho/para directing group among the following is
  • A
    $COOH$
  • B
    $CN$
  • C
    $COC{H_3}$
  • $NHCOC{H_3}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$NHCOC{H_3}$
d
(d) $-COOH$ and $COC{H_3}$ are meta directing group due to the presence of $ - \mathop {\mathop C\limits^{||} }\limits^O - $, similarly $CN$ is also meta directing due to the presence of multiple bond while $NHCOC{H_3}$ is ortho/para directing group because of less electron density over $ - \mathop {\mathop C\limits^{||} }\limits^O - $ group.
