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

    A)  \[-C\equiv N\]

    B)  \[-S{{O}_{3}}H\]

    C)  \[-COOH\]

    D)  \[-N{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

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