For the given molecule, "\(x\)", the preferred site for the attack of the electrophile is :

- A Predominantly at "r"
- B "r" and "u"
- C "p" and "s"
- D Predominantly at "u"
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Predominantly at "u"
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The given molecule, benzanilide, contains two phenyl rings with different reactivities towards electrophilic aromatic substitution. The left phenyl ring is attached to the carbonyl carbon of the amide group (\(-C(=O)NHPh\)). The carbonyl group is electron-withdrawing due to its…
