Ques. 1JEE Main 2026, 22 January (Morning Shift)

Given below are two statements : In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

  1. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
  3. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  4. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Answer

(1) Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Solution

-NO2 withdraws electrons from the ring by −I and −R effects it deactivates the ring, and the electron density is least at the ortho and para positions it is a meta-directing group. Statement II is correct.

As per NCERT, Friedel–Crafts reactions do not occur on a strongly deactivated ring such as nitrobenzene (nitrobenzene is even used as a solvent for Friedel–Crafts reactions).

Nitrobenzene does not give m-nitroacetophenone with CH3COCl/AlCl3. Statement I is incorrect.

Answer: (1)
