The tert-butyl group directs electrophilic aromatic substitution primarily to the ortho and para positions.
Is it true that the tert-butyl group directs electrophilic aromatic substitution primarily to the ortho and para positions?
The directing effect of alkyl groups such as the tert-butyl group in electrophilic aromatic substitution is a fundamental chemical principle found in standard textbooks, making formal citation unnecessary.
Verdict: COMMON KNOWLEDGE · 0 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The claim states a standard chemical rule regarding the directing effects of alkyl groups in electrophilic aromatic substitution, which is a matter of common chemical knowledge taught in organic chemistry.
- Is it true that Alkyl-hydroxy groups activate the benzene ring and direct substitution to ortho and para positions? SUPPORTED
- Is it true that electrophilic aromatic substitution in pyrrole occurs preferentially at the C-2 position? SUPPORTED
- Is it true that the ammonium substituent acts as a meta-directing group in electrophilic aromatic substitution? SUPPORTED
- Is it true that aromatic compounds exhibit predictable reactivity trends in electrophilic substitution? SUPPORTED
- Is it true that electrophilic aromatic substitution is directed by existing substituents on the benzene ring? SUPPORTED
