$-NHCOCH_3$

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The groups $-COOH$,$-CN$,and $-COCH_3$ are electron-withdrawing groups that deactivate the benzene ring and are meta-directing due to the presence of electron-withdrawing atoms or multiple bonds attached directly to the ring.In contrast,the $-NHCOCH_3$ group is an ortho/para directing group.This is because the nitrogen atom has a lone pair of electrons that can be delocalized into the benzene ring through resonance,which increases the electron density at the ortho and para positions.
