In the above reaction electrophile is substituted at meta position only, due to
I. Electron density is more at ortho & para position
II. Electron density is relatively less at ortho & para position
III. Electron density is less at meta position
IV. Electron density is relatively more at meta position
Correct answer is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Since the positive charge resides only at the ortho and para-positions, the incoming electrophile attacks the meta-positions. Electron density is at meta-positions. Thus, II and IV are correct.
