• Groups on a benzene ring

  The reaction is slower because the intermediate is less stable than that formed in the reaction of unsubstituted benzene. Deactivating groups have a net electron-withdrawing effect from the ring. a.

• Diacetylferrocene

  This is similar to the acetylation of benzene. Once the first acetyl group was added to the aromatic ring, it becomes much less reactive because acetyl group group is an electron-withdrawing group. The solution is given as a succinct explanation.
