Select the option in which all the given functional groups exhibit \(+R\) effect.
Show Hint
Groups having lone pairs directly attached to the aromatic ring generally exhibit \(+R\) effect.
\[
-OH,\;
-OR,\;
-NH_2,\;
-NHR,\;
-NR_2
\]
whereas
\[
-NO_2,\;
-CHO,\;
-COOH,\;
-COR
\]
show \(-R\) effect.
Concept:
Groups possessing a lone pair directly attached to the aromatic ring donate electron density through resonance and show \(+R\) (positive resonance) effect.
Groups containing carbonyl carbon directly attached to the ring generally withdraw electrons and show \(-R\) effect.
