The electrophile, attacks the benzene ring to generate the intermediate complex. Of the following, which complex is of lowest energy ?
As we learnt ,
Stability due to resonance -
More the no of resonating structure more is the stability.
- wherein
In , there is no NO2 , which is an electron withdrawing group and decreases the stability of cation. Hence , it is of lowest energy.
