Question 17 Consider the mechanism that converts the starting material to the product and identify the true statement. OCH, OCH a CH3 CH,CI AICI3 The electrophile generated is the methyl carbocation. The substitution is ortho because the methyl group stabilizes the positive charge that develops in the on carbon b by induction. The substitution is ortho because the methoxy group stabilizes the positive charge that develops on carbon a by resonance. A proton is removed from carbon c to re-aromatize the ring.
