JEE Advanced · Chemistry · 25. Alcohols, Phenols & Ethers
The reactivity of compound Z with different halogens under appropriate conditions is given below:

The observed pattern of electrophilic substitution can be explained by
- A The steric effect of the halogen
- B The steric effect of the tert-butyl group
- C The electronic effect of the phenolic group
- D The electronic effect of the tert-butyl group
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) The steric effect of the halogen
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The reason is the steric hindrance of the tetra-butyl group which is attached to the benzene ring. That is why, the reactivity of compound Z with different halogens under the appropriate condition and electro-negativity of the halogens is
