Organic Chemistry Some Basic Principles and Techniques - Result Question 58

####64. Which one of the following order is correct regarding the I effect of the substituents ?

[1998]

(a) NR2< OR >F

(b) NR2>OR>F

(c) NR2< OR < F

(d) NR2>OR<F

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (c) As electronegativity of Misplaced & follow the order N<O<F hence based upon electronegative character order of-I effect is NR2<OR< F.

The atom or group which has more power to attract electrons in comparision to hydrogen is said to have -I effect. Thus higher the electronegativity of atom, stronger will be the -I effect.
