19. Reactions of Aromatics: EAS and Beyond / Benzyne / Problem 11

Regioselectivity is not usually observed in benzyne mechanisms. However, why does the reaction shown produce a highly regioselective product?

ANSWERS OPTIONS

A

A highly regioselective product is produced because of the presence of an electron-donating group.

B

A highly regioselective product is produced because of the presence of an electron-withdrawing group.

C

A highly regioselective product is produced because of the presence of a good leaving group.

D

A highly regioselective product is produced because of the presence of a bad leaving group.
