MCQ
The only $o, p-$ directing group which is deactivating in nature is
  • A
    $ - N{H_2}$
  • B
    $ - OH$
  • $ - X$ (halogens)
  • D
    $ - R$ (alkyl groups)

Answer

Correct option: C.
$ - X$ (halogens)
c
(c) Electron accepting groups which make the substitution difficult are known or deactivating groups.

o. p. directing groups are as follow :

$ - C{H_3},{C_2}{H_5}( - R), - N{H_2}, - OH$, halogens $(Cl,\,Br,\,I)$.
