About this document
Activators and Deactivators in Benzene by api-465421809 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes important reactions of benzene including electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions and reductions. It notes that sulfonation can be used to block the para position on benzene rings with electron donating groups, forcing subsequent additions to the ortho position. Activators have a lone pair on the attached atom while deactivators do not. Halogens withdraw electron density through induction despite having a lone pair. Rings with activating OH and NH2 groups may require protection
