Which of the following is most reactive towards electrophilic nitration ?

Answer»

Toluene

Benzoic acid
Nitrobenzene.

Solution :DUE to `+ I` effect of `CH_(3)` in toluene, it is more reactive than benzene. Due to electron withdrawing NATURE of `-COOH` group in benzoic acid (C) and `-NO_(2)` group in nitrobenzene (D), both (C) and (D) are LESS reactive than benzene.
