Q

Hydroxylation occurs on what

A

Activated rings that are electron rich at the ortho and para position to the substituent
Hydroxylation of deactivated ring occurs at the meta position of the substituent

Alkyl group

18
Q

What are strong and moderate Deactivator

A
19
Q

Give example of weak Deactivator

A

Halogen, the only exception that is para and ortho directing

20
Q

What are stronger activators or deactivators

A

Activators

21
Q

How does Hydroxylation occur if there is more than one substituent attached to the ring

A

Then Hydroxylation occurs most often para to the most electron donation substituent

By mixed function oxidases (MFOs)

23
Q

Mixed function oxidases are composed of what three parts

A
