Mesomeric effect
« on: March 12, 2014, 03:50:42 PM »
I was wondering what do the resonance structures in the mesmeric effect prove about the activating deactivating groups.

Hint, try drawing the resonance structures of anisole and acetophenone. One in an ortho/para director and one a meta director. Which carbons are the most electron rich?
