Question:medium

From the following list, identify the number of substituents which exert \(+R\) effect when present on benzene ring \[ -Cl,\quad -COCH_3,\quad -NHC_2H_5,\quad -OCH_3,\quad -NHCOCH_3,\quad -COOCH_3 \]

Show Hint

Common \(+R\) groups: \[ -OH,\ -OR,\ -NH_2,\ -NHR,\ -NR_2,\ -Cl,\ -Br \] Common \(-R\) groups: \[ -CHO,\ -COR,\ -COOH,\ -COOR,\ -CN,\ -NO_2 \] Lone-pair-containing atoms attached directly to benzene usually show \(+R\) effect.
