I got question, Benzene or benzamide more reactive?

[@ChemistryGuru]

benzamide has a benzene + amide functional group so comparing reactivity really depends on what type of reaction you are referring to.

[@syazanahussien6184]

@@ChemistryGuru is benzamide meta directing group so the reactivity would decrease it it? As c=o is directly attached to benzene ring not the -N

[@syazanahussien6184]

*would decrease is it? Typo sorry

[@ChemistryGuru]

@@syazanahussien6184 yes C=O directly attached to benzene is meta directing and will decrease electron density in benzene so make it less attractive to electrophiles, ie less reactive
