Interpretation:
Major product for the given reaction has to be predicted. The given reaction is shown as,
Concept Introduction:
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.
Rules to identify the group that dominates the directing effects:
- Ortho-para directors will always dominate meta directors.
- Strong activators will always dominate weak activators
