Q. In the compound

electrophilic substitution occurs at

A) $ortho/para$ position at ring I
B) $meta$ position at ring I
C) $ortho/para$ position at ring II
D) $meta$ position at ring II

Electrophilic substitution reaction takes place in compounds in which $\pi -$electrons are highly delocalised. The electrophile attacks the region of high electron density, therefore, electrophilic substitution occurs at $ortho/para$ position at ring II.
