Question

Arrange the following compounds in their increasing reactivity for electrophilic substitution:
Toulene,nitrobenzene,benzene

Open in App

Solution

Nitrobenzene <Benzene < Toluene

Nitrobenzene due to its electron withdrawing nature de-activates the benzene ring making electrophilic substitution difficult.
Whereas, toulene activates the ring due to +I effect facilitating the substitution.
