The mechanism above shows that when electron density is withdrawn from the ring that leaves the carbons at the ortho para positions with a parital positive charge which is unfavorable for the electrophile so the electrophile attacks the carbon at the meta positions. The abbreviation p - is used for example p -Hydroquinone is 14-dihydroxybenzene.
The para position refers to the opposite position separated by two carbon atoms on a benzene ring.
Para position in benzene ring. In the case of para aramid you can see that the two peptide linkage formed are with two other para amid molecules alwaysHad it been ortho aramid then the two bonds will be more likely to get bonded to a single other ortho amid moleculeAnd the polymeristaion ends there at the most polymer of para aramid will be having less length and has unsymmetrical structureBut in para amid it can. Instead of using numbers to indicate substituents on a benzene ring ortho- o- meta- m- or para p- can be used in place of positional markers when there are two substituents on the benzene ring disubstituted benzenes. They are defined as the following.
The terms ortho meta and para are prefixes used in organic chemistry to indicate the position of non-hydrogen substituents on a hydrocarbon ring benzene derivative. Ortho In other words the substituent is adjacent or next to the primary carbon on the ring. An atom or group already attached to a benzene ring may direct an incoming electrophile to either the orthopara positions or the meta position.
Atoms or groups that make the benzene molecule more reactive by increasing the rings electron density are called activating groups. A combining form used in the names of benzene derivatives in which the substituting group occupies the para position in the benzene ring. Before a vowel par-.
Greek para- comb. Form representing pará preposition beside alongside of by beyond para- 2. So far weve looked at electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions involving only benzene but what happens when you start with a substituent already on your benzene ring so well look at this molecule over here on the Left which is methoxy benzene so now we have a methoxy substituent on our benzene ring and if we react methoxy benzene with concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids you should.
There are three relative positions for a disubstituted benzene ring. Ortho meta and para. All the functional groups are divided into ortho - para or meta -directors.
To which one the group belongs depends on how it stabilizes or destabilizes the transition state of the electrophilic substitution reaction. Para position in organic chemistry is the one in which there are two same functional groups tied to a ring of benzene in the position 1 and 4. The abbreviation p - is used for example p -Hydroquinone is 14-dihydroxybenzene.

The mechanism above shows that when electron density is withdrawn from the ring that leaves the carbons at the ortho para positions with a parital positive charge which is unfavorable for the electrophile so the electrophile attacks the carbon at the meta positions. The activating group directs the reaction to the ortho or para position which means the electrophile substitute the hydrogen that is on carbon 2 or carbon 4.
The terms ortho para and meta refer to different structures of a benzene ring with at least two substituents. The key difference between ortho para and meta substitution is that ortho substitution has two substituents in 1 and 2 positions of the ring and. Remember when assigning the position of a new substituent to a benzene ring activating groups always dictate the position of the new substituent.
We know that activating groups direct new substituents to the ortho or para positions. Rings through the ortho positions of benzene are very readily formed and offer a striking contrast to the comparatively rare meta and para rings. The assumption that meta and para ring structures exist in certain com pounds has been made occasionally but only in a few instances has the existence of such structures been proved with certainty.
The meta position refers to the positions separated by one carbon atom on a benzene ring. The para position refers to the opposite position separated by two carbon atoms on a benzene ring.
