    Some meta-directing substituents in aromatic substitution are given. Which one is most deactivating?

    A) \[-\text{C}\equiv \text{N}\]

    B) \[-\text{S}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\text{H}\]

    C) \[-\text{COOH}\]

    D) \[-\text{N}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The deactivating tendency of given groups follows the order                   \[-N{{O}_{2}}>-S{{O}_{3}}H>-C\equiv N>-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-OH\] Thus, ?\[N{{O}_{2}}\] is the most deactivating group.
