Among the following compounds the one that is most reactive towards electrophilic nitration is

  1. benzoic acid
  2. nitrobenzene
  3. toluene
  4. benzene

Answer

(3) toluene

Solution

Electron-donating groups increase the electron density of the ring and activate it towards electrophilic substitution; electron-withdrawing groups deactivate it.

-CH3 (+I effect and hyperconjugation) activating

-COOH, -NO2 (−I and −R effects) deactivating

Reactivity: toluene > benzene > benzoic acid > nitrobenzene.

Answer: (3)
