the halogens are electron withdrawing groups. e.g. F, Cl, etc
Alkyl groups are generally electron donating due to their inductive effect, where they push electron density towards the rest of the molecule. This is because alkyl groups are less electronegative than carbon and hydrogen, leading to a slight positive charge that can stabilize adjacent negative charges.
Acetamide is a much weaker base compared to methylamine. This is due to the electron withdrawing effect of the CO group, which makes the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom less available for protonation.
Monobromination of acetanilide occurs because the acetyl group (–C(=O)CH3) is an electron-withdrawing group that decreases the nucleophilicity of the aniline nitrogen, leading to selective bromination at the para position of the aromatic ring. In contrast, aniline has an amino group (–NH2), which is an electron-donating group that significantly increases the electron density on the aromatic ring, making it more reactive towards multiple bromination. Under the same conditions, the increased reactivity of aniline allows for tribromination to occur, as the ring can readily accommodate multiple bromine substitutions.
