we will discuss whether a methoxy group is electron donating or electron withdrawing. We will see that there is a competition between two factors. The methoxy group might be considered electron-withdrawing because of induction, or it might be considered electron-donating because of resonance. Below are the resonance structures of compound 1. Draw the missing curved arrow(s) to convert the each resonance structure into the next one...
