O O I A C B CH 3 C C O N(CH3)2 SO 3H D Bruice: Organic Chemistry, © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. O C E CH3 16.3 Which of the following groups is an activator? O O I A C B CH 3 C C O N(CH3)2 SO 3H O D Generally, except for the halogens, groups with lone pairs of electrons adjacent to the ring are activators.

E. -Cl -CHO -CN -NO2 None of the above Bruice: Organic Chemistry, © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. 16.4 Which of the following groups is an ortho–para director? A. B. C. D. E. -Cl -CHO -CN -NO2 None of the above Although -Cl is a deactivator, it’s lone pairs of electrons stabilize electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions and it is an o- pdirector.

R COOH R= A. -Br B. -CF3 C. -H D. -OCH3 E. -OH Bruice: Organic Chemistry, © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. 16.5 Which benzoic acid derivative has the lowest pKa? R R= A. -Br pKa = 4.00 B. -CF3 pKa = 3.67 C. -H pKa = 4.20 D. -OCH3 pKa = 4.47 E. -OH pKa = 4.48 COOH Groups that are electron withdrawing either inductively or by resonance will stabilize the conjugate base making the acid stronger. Bruice: Organic Chemistry, © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. 16.7 Which of the following groups most strongly activates an aromatic ring toward Friedel– Crafts acylation? A. B. C. D. E. -NH2 -OCH3 -O-C(=O)CH3 NO2 H Bruice: Organic Chemistry, © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. 16.7 Which of the following groups most strongly activates an aromatic ring toward Friedel– Crafts acylation? A. B. C. D. E. -NH2 -OCH3 -O-C(=O)CH3 NO2 H Although the -NH2 group is a stronger activator, it complexes with AlCl3 to form a strongly deactivating ammonium group. Consequently, the methoxy is a better activator. Bruice: Organic Chemistry, © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. 16.8 Which step in the following reaction will cause the proposed synthesis to fail?
