Vedclass · Answer

(C) Nitrobenzene is a strongly deactivating group due to the $-NO_2$ group,which is electron-withdrawing by both inductive and resonance effects. It directs incoming electrophiles to the meta-position in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. However,the question asks for $o$- and $p$-substituted products. Nitrobenzene does not undergo standard electrophilic substitution to give $o$- and $p$-products easily. Among the given options,none of these reactions typically yield $o$- and $p$-products as major products for nitrobenzene. However,if the question implies a specific context like nucleophilic substitution (which is also difficult) or if there is an error in the premise,it is important to note that nitrobenzene is meta-directing. Given the standard chemistry curriculum,nitrobenzene undergoes nitration (Option $C$) to give $m$-dinitrobenzene. Since the question asks for $o$- and $p$-products,it is technically incorrect as nitrobenzene is meta-directing.

In which reaction does nitrobenzene give $o$- and $p$-substituted products?
