Ortho/Meta/Para Directors

What's this ortho/meta/para business you've been hearing so much about? Why is benzene ruining your life? Don't worry, 16 minutes or so from now it will all make sense. From directing groups to activating and deactivating groups. It has to do with electron donating groups and electron withdrawing groups.

[@thepausebrake3223]

Yeah yeah i know i'm 4 years late but still dude. Your videos are making my study sessions easy. I recomended you and your channel to everyone in my class. We are all grateful. Keep up the awesome work, cheers from Turkey

I'm two years later but I feel the exact same way!

You explain great. I'm from Germany and I'm learning for the abitur. There are no good german videos about this topic, so i decided to watch yours, and i understood everything. Thanks !

[@Lumax96]

holy shit, didnt know stuff like that is needed for the chemistry abitur. have to study this for ochem at university (biology) and i actually think its pretty hard...only had chemistry lessons until 10th grade though
