Question

Is the following statement correct? Why?

The presence of an electron-donating group on the benzene ring could statistically yield as much as a 2:1 ratio of ortho to para isomers.

Diagram showing electrophilic aromatic substitution with EDG, producing ortho and para isomers in a 2:1 ratio.

Accepted Answer

The statement is correct because the electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction can statistically occur at two ortho positions and one para position.

Answer

The statement is incorrect because the electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction can statistically occur at one ortho position and one para position.

Answer

The statement is incorrect because the electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction can statistically occur at only one meta position.

Answer

The statement is incorrect because the electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction can statistically occur at two para positions and one ortho position.
