Interpretation:
The expected directing effects that would be observed if the given compound undergoes an electrophilic
Concept Introduction:
Electrophilic substitution reaction is a type of reaction in which a particular group or atom in a compound is replaced by electrophile. An electrophile is a species that is deficient of electrons
Deactivators are electron withdrawing groups attached to the benzenes that have either positive charge or an atom with high electronegativity. They are meta directors.
Activators are electron donating groups attached to the benzenes that have either electron density that is able to push into benzene ring or a lone pair of electrons. They are ortho-para directing.
Halogens are deactivators that are ortho-para directing.

- Select the appropriate reagent and TWO possible substrates for the following reductive amination.arrow_forwardPropose a plausible and logical synthetic pathway for the followingarrow_forwardThe formation of an acetal from a ketone or aldehyde has a very similar mechanism to the formation of an imine (review Equations 18-13 and 18-19). Both require acidic conditions to generate a water leaving group. At very acidic pH, however, the rate of imine formation slows down (see the accompanying graph), whereas the rate of acetal formation does not. Explain this pH dependence of imine formation. 1 2 3 4 6 7 pH Rate of imine formation –>arrow_forward
