During electrophilic aromatic substitution, a resonance-stabilized cation intermediate is formed. Groups, already present on the benzene ring, that direct ortho/para further stabilize this intermediate by participating in the resonance delocalization of the positive charge. Assume that the following group is present on a benzene ring at position 1 and that you are brominating the ring at positon 4. Draw the structure of the resonance contributor that shows this group actively participating in the charge delocalization. OCH3

Explanation:

Aromatic compounds undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions in which the aromatic ring is maintained.

Substituted benzenes may be more or less reactive towards electrophilic aromatic substitution than benzene depending on the nature of the substituent present in the ring.

Substituents that activate the ring towards electrophilic substitution such as -OCH3 are ortho-para directing.

The major products of the bromination of anisole are p-bromoanisole and o-bromoanisole. The resonance structures leading to these products are shown in the image attached.

elements make up everything, and they combine to make compounds.
