So far we learned about ortho and para positions but do compounds ever go to the meta position and if so when does that happen? (Electrophiles always enter the meta-position,, but preferably - when the existing group has no donating effects. - GS). Also can you go over why meta isn’t as favorable as ortho or para please, I’m still confused why it isn’t? (The sigma-complex has the positive charge distributed over the ortho- and para-positions, so it is stabilized better by ortho- and para- electron-donating substituents, which makes the ortho- and para-orientation preferred. Ortho- and para-substituents with no electron-donating effects are are having trouble withdrawing electrons from the positively-charged ortho- and para-positions, which makes ortho- and para-orientation unfavorable, so the meta-substitution is preferred. - GS).
