In the following questions a statement of Assertion
A
followed by a statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the choice given below Assertion : Toluene on Friedel-Crafts methylation gives 0 - and p-xylene. Reason (R): 
-group bonded to the benzene ring increases electron density at 
- position. Both and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of . and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of . is correct but 
is not correct. and (R) are not correct.
-group bonded to the benzene ring increases electron density at - position. Both and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of . and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of . is correct but is not correct. and (R) are not correct.
B
Both
D
Both
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
NOT AVAILABLE
group is electron releasing group which activates benzene ring due to hyper conjugation effect and increases electron density on ortho and para position for the attack of electrophiles. Hence it is o - and p directing for incoming electrphile.
