Given below are two statements:
Statement I: In \(O_2 N\)-\(C_6 H_4\)-\(CH^{\oplus}\)-\(C_6 H_4\)-\(OCH_3\), the carbocation is stabilised by \(+R\) effect of \(-OCH_3\) group.
Statement II: In \(O_2 N\)-\(C_6 H_4\)-\(CH^{\ominus}\)-\(C_6 H_4\)-\(OCH_3\), the carbanion is stabilised by \(-R\) effect of \(-NO_2\) group.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- B Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- C Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- D Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Statement I is true because the \(-OCH_3\) group is an electron-donating group. It donates electron density through resonance (\(+R\) effect), which delocalizes the positive charge of the carbocation and stabilizes it. Statement II is true because the \(-NO_2\) group is a strong…
