Which oxygen atom has the greater electron density in 4-methoxyacetophenone ?
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
The ether oxygen pushes its lone pair into the ring and on to the group (+R), so it carries a partial positive character and loses electron density.
The carbonyl oxygen gains the negative charge in the same resonance, so it has the greater electron density.
