Solution Summary

This solution provides an explanation which will allow a student to develop a deeper understanding of organic chemistry problems, as they relate to using acetyl groups and aromatic compounds. This is discussed in about 100 words.

Solution Preview

This is because of the electron density (e.d.) or the nucleophilicity of the ring. Acetyl groups are an electron withdrawing group, so the substituted ...
