Hey guys,
So I know you once you protect a carbonyl group with HOCH2CH2OH, it becomes an o/p director. But I'm just wondering does the extra carbons make it an electron donating group as well? Or is it just acting like a halogen where it's an o/p director but it's still electron withdrawing?
Thanks again for all the help! 🙂
