Question

What is the expected order of reactivity of the following compounds in electrophilic chlorination $(C{l}_2+FeC{l}_3)$? (more reactive $>$ less reactive).

• A. I $>$ II $>$ III $>$ IV
• B. IV $>$ III $>$ II $>$ I
• C. III $>$ I $>$ IV $>$ II
• D. II $>$ III $>$ I $>$ IV

Answer 1

The correct option is A I $>$ II $>$ III $>$ IV

order of reactivity of these compounds in electrophilic chlorination with the reagent $C{l}_2$ and $FeC{l}_3$. is :-
