So just making sure I have this correct...
In EAS, when there is an e- donating group on the benzene, it always prefers PARA over ORTHO because of steric hindrance? Thus...in EAS, PARA is always the better choice?
And in Phenols, an e- withdrawing group at the ORTHO position is better than at the PARA position because it has resonance + inductive effect. Thus in Phenols, ORTHO is the better choice?
Thank you.
