Which of the following is the most reactive in aromatic electrophilic substitution reaction?
Show Hint
- Benzene
- Chlorobenzene
- Phenol
- Benzaldehyde
- Nitrobenzene
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).
