When aniline undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution in an acidic medium, the meta-substituted product is also formed. Explain why.
The amino group is protonated under acidic conditions and becomes an electron-withdrawing group, allowing the formation of the meta-substituted product.
The amino group is protonated under acidic conditions and becomes an electron-donating group, allowing the formation of the meta-substituted product.
The amino group is deprotonated under acidic conditions and becomes an electron-withdrawing group, allowing the formation of the meta-substituted product.
The amino group is deprotonated under acidic conditions and becomes an electron-donating group, allowing the formation of the meta-substituted product.
