aromatic substition and substituent reactivity
« on: March 08, 2011, 10:00:44 PM »
If a benzene with the substituent CH3 is weakly activating, and a benzene with a substituent F is weakly deactivating, then what is a benzene with a substituent of CH2F? Will it be somewhere in between? I'm confused of how this works.

I need to label the compounds from most reactive to least reactive. So CH3 is more reactive than F, but where would the CH2F fit in?

Thanks
