The nitroso group, NO, as a substituent on a benzene ring acts as an ortho, para directing
Question:
The nitroso group, –NO, as a substituent on a benzene ring acts as an ortho, para– directing group but is deactivating. Use the Lewis structure of the nitroso group and its inductive and resonance interactions with the benzene ring to explain this finding. Consider possible similarities to another type of substituent that is ortho, para–directing but deactivating.
