Identify correct order of reactivity in electronphilic substitution reactions of the following compounds A. `1gt2gt3gt4`B. `4gt3gt2gt1`C. `2gt1gt3gt4`D. `2gt3gt1gt4` |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - C We know, during electrophilic substitution of arenes electron donating groups activates the ring · (and are o, p-directing) and electron withdrawing groups deactivates the ring (and are m-directing). Halogens are o, p-directing but are not much activating. Therefore, correct order is `2gt3gt1gt4` |
