Question:
Which of the following is the most reactive in aromatic electrophilic substitution reaction?
Which of the following is the most reactive in aromatic electrophilic substitution reaction?
Show Hint
Electron-donating groups such as -OH and -NH\(_2\) increase the electron density on the ring, making it more reactive in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions.
Updated On: Apr 7, 2025
- Benzene
- Chlorobenzene
- Phenol
- Benzaldehyde
- Nitrobenzene
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
In aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions, the electron-donating groups increase the reactivity of the aromatic ring towards electrophiles. Among the options, phenol has the most reactive ring due to the electron-donating effect of the hydroxyl group (-OH).
Thus, the correct answer is (C).
