Vedclass · Answer

(C) Groups that are electron-withdrawing by inductive or resonance effects decrease the electron density of the benzene ring,making it less reactive towards electrophilic substitution (deactivating). These groups direct the incoming electrophile to the meta position. The $-NO_2$ group is a strong electron-withdrawing group and is a classic example of a deactivating meta-directing group.

Which of the following groups,when attached to a benzene ring,acts as a deactivating meta-directing group?
