OH mono halo substituted derivative when X2 = l2 2 di halo substituted derivative when X2 = Br2 C(CH3ls tri halo substituted derivative when X2 = Clh by The observed pattern of electrophilic substitution can be explaine (A) the steric effect of the halogen (B) the steric effect of the tert-butyl group (C) the electronic effect of the phenolic group (D) the electronic effect of the tert-butyl group
option b)\nas the t-butyl is a large group which will create steric hindrance if the large group will approach to the benzene ring.
electronic effect will almost be similar on orth...
