Chapter 4.6, Problem 4.37P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The expected directing effects that would be observed if the given compound undergoes an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Electrophilic substitution reaction is a type of reaction in which a particular group or atom in a compound is replaced by electrophile.  An electrophile is a species that is deficient of electrons

Deactivators are electron withdrawing groups attached to the benzenes that have either positive charge or an atom with high electronegativity.  They are meta directors.

Activators are electron donating groups attached to the benzenes that have either electron density that is able to push into benzene ring or a lone pair of electrons.  They are ortho-para directing.

Halogens are deactivators that are ortho-para directing.

For each of the following compounds, determine whether the ring is activated or deactivated, the strength of activation/deactivation, and the expected directing effects.
As shown below, electrophilic aromatic substitution on N,N-dimethylaniline is faster than on the unsubstituted aniline.In other words, the aromatic ring in N,N-dimethylaniline is more activated than the ring is in aniline itself. If the ring is methylated at the 2 and 6 positions, however, then the N,N-dimethyl-substituted compound reacts more slowly in electrophilic aromatic substitution than the unsubstituted compound. Explain both of these results. Hint: It does not have to do with the number of H atoms on the ring.
