| Dec 4, 2022 at 14:31 | comment | added | Poutnik | Interesting, for o- and p- isomers, I would expect the preference difference would be small and 2 : 1 was the result of statistical availlability ( NO2+ meeting o-C 2x more frequently than p- carbon. ). So for 1 : 1, preference of p-C must be 2x stronger, what seems suspicious. Perhaps the steric effect of methyl are more important than I have thought. /// The solvent influence must be really tricky. // But I have just residual knowledge of organic synthesis. | |
