Give the decreasingorder of ((o + p)/(m)) ratio for the nitration of compounds in Problem 11.9.

Answer»

Solution :Greater the reactivity of `o,p-` directing substiuent, more is the `(( o + p)/(m))` ratio.
SIMILARLY, greaterthe reativityof `m-` directing substituent, less is the `(( o + p)/(m))` ratio.
IN problem`11.9`, the reactivity order of `o-,p` directing substituent and of `m-` directing substituent is:
`o-,p-` Directing reactivity and`(( o + p)/(m))` ratio order:
`UNDERSET((IV))(-OR) underset(gt)(gt) underset((I))(-OCOR) underset(gt)(gt)underset((VII))(-CH=CH-COOH) underset(gt)(gt) underset((II))(-CH=CH-NO_(2)) underset(gt)(gt) underset((V))(-R)`
m-` directing reactivity order:
`underset((VI)) overset(O) overset(||) (-C) -R underset(gt)(gt) underset((III))overset(O)overset(||)(C) - NH_(2)`
`(o+p)/(m)` ratio: `(III) gt (IV)`
HENCE `((o + p)/(m))` ratio order is:
`(IV) gt (I) gt (VII) gt (II) gt (V) gt (III) gt (VI)`
