The o, p-directing influence of halogen atom can be easily understood if we consider the resonating structures of halobenzene as shown: Due to resonance, the electron density increases more at ortho- and para-positions than at meta-positions Further, the halogen atom because of its –I effect has some tendency to withdraw electrons from the benzene ring As a result, the ring gets somewhat deactivated as compared to benzene and hence the electrophilic substitution reactions in haloarenes occur slowly and require more drastic conditions as compared to those in benzene (i) Halogenation (ii) Nitration (iii) Sulphonation Rationalised 2023-24 185 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes (iv) Friedel-Crafts reaction Although chlorine is an electron withdrawing group, yet it is ortho-, para- directing in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions

Why Chlorine withdraws electrons through inductive effect and releases electrons through resonance Through inductive effect, chlorine destabilises the intermediate carbocation formed during the electrophilic substitution Through resonance, halogen tends to stabilise the carbocation and the effect is more pronounced at ortho- and para- positions

5670-5673
Chlorine withdraws electrons through inductive effect and releases electrons through resonance Through inductive effect, chlorine destabilises the intermediate carbocation formed during the electrophilic substitution Through resonance, halogen tends to stabilise the carbocation and the effect is more pronounced at ortho- and para- positions The inductive effect is stronger than resonance and causes net electron withdrawal and thus causes net deactivation

5671-5674
Through inductive effect, chlorine destabilises the intermediate carbocation formed during the electrophilic substitution Through resonance, halogen tends to stabilise the carbocation and the effect is more pronounced at ortho- and para- positions The inductive effect is stronger than resonance and causes net electron withdrawal and thus causes net deactivation The resonance effect tends to oppose the inductive effect for the attack at ortho- and para- positions and hence makes the deactivation less for ortho- and para- attack
