5.

Among the following in which cases is the `o//p` ratio on nitration more the first compound?

Answer» (c,d)
In (a) and (c) in the nitration of `alkyl` benzene, the `o//p` ratio is the order `Me (1.58) gt Et (0.94) gt Me_(2)CH-(0.49) gt Me_(2)C (0.22)`. This is largly due to the steric effect of the alkyl group and `overline(e)` donation by hyperconjugation.
So, the reactivity order is: `PhCH_(3) gt PhEt gt PhCHMe_(2) gt PhCMe_(3)`.
So, in (b) adn `o//p` ratio is: `(II) gt (i)`. In (c), the `o//p` ratio is: `(I) gt (II)`.
So, in (b) and (d), for nitraction of halogen substituent, the reactivity oder is: `I gt Br gt Cl gt F` (due to combined effect of `-1` and `+R`).
So, in (b), `o/p` ratio is: `(II) gt (I)`
So in `(d), o//p` ratio is (I) gt (II)`

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

Answer» Greater the reactivity of `o,p-` directing substiuent, more is the `(( o + p)/(m))` ratio.
Similarly, greater the reativity of `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)`
