Which one is the most reactive towards electrophilic reagent?

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Electron donating effect decreases in the order: `OH gt OCH_(3) gt NHCOCH_(3) gt CH_(3) gt CH_(2)OH`.
therefore, OH is the most strongly electron-donating group and hence o-cresol (b) is most reactive towards electrophilic reagent.
