All orthopara directors are activators, except for halides. Identify the substituent as an orthopara or meta director.
Test your knowledge on this science quiz to see how you do and compare your score to others. Groups in which the atom directly attached to the benzene ring have a partial or complete positive charge tend to pull electrons toward themselves. Substituents that cause this effect are called o,p directors hno 3 h2so 4 anisole activated ring and they usually activate the ring. We predicted orthopara and meta group directing behaviors for a list of groups whose.
All meta directors are deactivators, no exceptions. If you substitute a nitro group, no 2, into the benzene ring in methylbenzene, you could possibly get any of the following products the carbon with the methyl group attached is thought of as the number 1 carbon, and the ring is then numbered around from 1 to 6. H borylation reaction followed by a newly developed copperii. Meta directors predominantly direct the incoming group to a position meta to itself. Individual inductive effects of substituents combine. What do we do when directing groups dont direct the right way. But perhaps you find it tricky due to the sheer volume of information that makes up the big picture. Atoms or groups that make the benzene molecule more reactive by increasing the rings electron density are called activating groups. Reaction mechanism 07 electrophilic substitution 03.
