Which of the following compounds undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction most easily?

Answer»




Solution :PRESENCE of electron-withdrawing groups (i.e., `NO_(2),CN`, etc.) at o- and p-position w.r.t. Cl ACTIVATES it towards nucleophilic substitution reactions while presence of electron-donating groups (i.e., `CH_(3),OCH_(3)`, etc.) deactivates it towards nucleophilic substitution reaction. thus, p-nitrochlorobenzene UNDERGOES nucleophilic substitution reaction most easily. thus, option (a) is correct.
