Ethers, -OR. Alkyl groups are also weakly electron-donating.

Are esters electron donating?

Member. in the kaplan book it says anything with a Carbonyl is withdrawing (meta director), but in one of the practice tests is that the ester is electron donating (ortho/para).

Are ethers EDG?

Anilines, phenols, and ethers (such as anisole)

Hence the result is that they are EDGs and ortho/para directors.
