Two statements are given below
Statement I: Chlorobenzene on nitration gives 1-chloro4-nitrobenzene as major product
Statement II: Chlorobenzene undergoes nitration slowly than benzene
Identify the correct answer

  1. A Statement I, II are correct
  2. B Statements I, II are incorrect
  3. C Statement I correct but statement II is incorrect
  4. D Statement II correct but statement I is incorrect
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Statement I, II are correct

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Thus, Statement I is correct. Since \(-\mathrm{Cl}\) is a ring-deactivating group, so it slows down the electrophilic substitution reactions like nitration. Thus, Statement II is also correct.
