Question
Chapter 18, Problem 60P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason to why anisole is more rapidly nitrated as compared to thioanisole under same conditions has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Electrophilic substitution reaction in the benzene ring becomes more favorable by increase in the electron density on the benzene ring either by resonance, hyperconjugation or by inductive effect. More is the electron density on benzene ring, faster will be the reaction.
