Which of the following are highly reactive towards electrophileA. B. C. D.

Answer» Correct Answer - B::C
A compound will be reactive towards electrophile if the benzene ring is electron rich.
In (b) and (c ) -OH group and `-NH-oversetoversetO"||"C-R` group will make the benzene ring highly electron rich due to there ability to donate their electrons inside the benzene ring hence (b) and (c ) are correct.
In (a) and (d) since `-NO_2` and -CHO are electron withdrawing groups they will push electrons from the benzene system and make it electron deficient.
Hence (a) and (d) are wrong
