MCQ
Which one of the following orders is correct regarding the inductive effect of the substituents
  • A
    $ - N{R_2} < - OR > - F$
  • B
    $ - N{R_2} > - OR > - F$
  • $ - N{R_2} < - OR < - F$
  • D
    $ - N{R_2} > - OR < - F$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$ - N{R_2} < - OR < - F$
c
Alkyl is an electron releasing group has $+I$ inductive effect. $-F$ has $-I$ inductive effect. Oxygen is more electronegative than nitrogen. Therefore the order of $-I$ effect is $-N R_{2} <-O R<-F$
