638 CHAPTER 18 Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution Elimination-Addition Common Mistakes to Avoid For most ortho-para directors, we can rely on steric effects that will favor substitution at the para position rather than the ortho position: The major product results from para attack, and the minor product results from ortho attack. If we want to achieve substitution at the ortho position, then we must employ a blocking group: With this technique, we use the para-directing effects of the substituent to block (temporarily) the para position. This allows us to perform the desired reaction at the ortho position, followed by removal of the blocking group. www.MyEbookNiche.eCrater.com
