Which one is the most reactive towards an electrophilic reagent?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A
Key Idea Electron withdrawing substituent deactivates the benzene nucleus towards electrophilic substitution while electron releasing substituent activates the ring towards electrophilic substitution.
Among the given, - OH has the higher electron donating tendency and thus, activates the ring more towards electrophilic substitution.
Hence,
It is more reactive towards electrophilic reagent.
