Most reactive for alkaline hydrolysis is:
Most reactive for alkaline hydrolysis is:
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B
Alkaline hydrolysis is a nucleophilic substitution reaction.
Nucleophile attacks the compound which has a lower electron density. Thus, the more the number of electron-withdrawing groups present in a compound, the more it will be reactive for alkaline hydrolysis.
As the compound (A) has 3−NO2 groups present, it will have the least electron density and be most reactive to alkaline hydrolysis.
