Which of the following substitution of benzene is Ortho para in electrophilic substitution and Ortho para in nucleophilic substitution
Correct answer: E. Non of these
- A. NO2
- B. -NO
- C. - SO3
- D. - SO2ME
- E. Non of these
Explanation
The correct answer is option A: NO2. It is ortho para in electrophilic substitution and ortho para in nucleophilic substitution. This is due to its strong activating nature and ortho para directing effect. Option B, C, and D are incorrect as they are all meta directors, directing substitution to the meta position. Option E is incorrect as it does not fulfill the specific criteria mentioned in the question.
