Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Show Hint
- (A), (B) and (E) only
- (A), (C) and (D) only
- (A) only
- (A) and (C) only
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
- (A) True: \( -\text{OCH}_3 \) and \( -\text{NHCOCH}_3 \) are electron-donating groups, thus activating the aromatic ring.
- (B) True: \( -\text{CN} \) and \( -\text{OH} \) are both meta directing groups.
- (C) False: \( -\text{SO}_3\text{H} \) is actually a meta directing group, but \( -\text{CN} \) is a meta directing group too, making the statement true.
- (D) True: Activating groups usually act as ortho-para directing groups.
- (E) False: Halides are deactivating and ortho-para directing.
Thus, the correct answer is \( \text{(A)}, \text{(B)}, \text{and (E)} \).
Final Answer: (1) (A), (B) and (E) only.
