3.1. Why is the compound shown on the right difficult to synthesize? ZON a. The group in the 3 position is weakly activating and will direct to the meta position, but the group in the 1 position is strongly deactivating b. The group in the 3 position is weakly activating and will direct to the ortho and para positions, and the group in the 1 position is also weakly deactivating and will direct to the ortho and para positions. c. The group in the 1 position is strongly deactivating and will direct to the meta position, but the group in the 3 position is strongly activating and directs to the ortho and para positions d. The group in the 1 position is weakly activating and will direct to the ortho and para positions, and the group in the 3 position is strongly deactivating 3.2. What is the best response for the following statement? "When chloroethane is added to a flask containing aniline and an AICI3 catalyst, o-ethylaniline and p-ethylaniline are formed." a. True, the amine group of aniline is an activator and an ortholpara director, so the Freidel-Crafts alkylation leads to these products. b.False, the amine group of aniline is a deactivator and a meta director, so the Freidel-Crafts alkylation leads to different products. c. True, although the amine group of aniline is a deactivator, it will act as an ortholpara director in the Friedel-Crafts reaction because the catalyst will be used up. d.False, although the amine group of aniline is an activator and an ortholpara director, the amine group will complex with the catalyst and the Freidel-Crafts alkylation will not take place.

Reactions of Ethers
Ethers (R-O-R’) are compounds formed by replacing hydrogen atoms of an alcohol (R-OH compound) or a phenol (C6H5OH) by an aryl/ acyl group (functional group after removing single hydrogen from an aromatic ring). In this section, reaction, preparation and behavior of ethers are discussed in the context of organic chemistry.
Epoxides
Epoxides are a special class of cyclic ethers which are an important functional group in organic chemistry and generate reactive centers due to their unusual high reactivity. Due to their high reactivity, epoxides are considered to be toxic and mutagenic.
Williamson Ether Synthesis
An organic reaction in which an organohalide and a deprotonated alcohol forms ether is known as Williamson ether synthesis. Alexander Williamson developed the Williamson ether synthesis in 1850. The formation of ether in this synthesis is an SN2 reaction.
Question

This is a problem I am struggling with, because I still struggle to understand how to accurately describe why the nitro benzene-type structure is difficult to synthesize. Please help!
Also the second problem I am really struggling to put words into a problem in order to solve it. Please show all steps for both 1 and 2!

NO2
a. The group in the 3 position is weakly activating and will direct to the
meta position, but the group in the 1 position is strongly deactivating
b. The group in the 3 position is weakly activating and will direct to the ortho and para positions, and the
group in the 1 position is also weakly deactivating and will direct to the ortho and para positions.
c. The group in the 1 position is strongly deactivating and will direct to the meta position, but the group in
the 3 position is strongly activating and directs to the ortho and para positions
d. The group in the 1 position is weakly activating and will direct to the ortho and para positions, and the
group in the 3 position is strongly deactivating
3.2. What is the best response for the following statement? "When chloroethane is added to a flask containing
aniline and an AICI3 catalyst, o-ethylaniline and p-ethylaniline are formed."
a. True, the amine group of aniline is an activator and an ortholpara director, so the Freidel-Crafts
alkylation leads to these products.
b.False, the amine group of aniline is a deactivator and a meta director, so the Freidel-Crafts alkylation
leads to different products.
c. True, although the amine group of aniline is a deactivator, it will act as an ortholpara director in the
Friedel-Crafts reaction because the catalyst will be used up.
d.False, although the amine group of aniline is an activator and an ortholpara director, the amine group
will complex with the catalyst and the Freidel-Crafts alkylation will not take place.
