(a)
Interpretation:
All lone pairs to the atom at the point of attachment for every substituent in Table 23-1 are to be added. Also, out of the two columns, the column (ortho/para- or meta directing substituents) in which these substituents can be found is to be given.
Concept introduction:
The substituent on the benzene ring prior to substitution dictates the regiochemistry of the reaction. Some substituents are designated as ortho/para directors because they lead to product mixtures consisting primarily of the ortho- and para-disubstituted products. Other substituents are designated as meta directors because they favor the formation of the meta-disubstituted product. The results from nitration reactions are summarized in Table 23-1:
(b)
Interpretation:
The substituent in the column attached by an atom that has no lone pairs of electrons is to be shown. Also any electronegative atoms at or near the point of attachment are to be shown.

For drawing structure B, I know the correct answer is CH₃B₂, but when I try to type it in, it keeps giving me CH₄BH₃ instead. Do you know how I should write it properly? Should I use a bond or something else?arrow_forward
