Which of the following is most reactive towards electrophilic nitration ?

A

Toluene

B

Benzene

C

Benzoic acid

D

Nitrobenzene.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Due to `+ I` effect of `CH_(3)` in toluene, it is more reactive than benzene. Due to electron withdrawing nature of `-COOH` group in benzoic acid (C) and `-NO_(2)` group in nitrobenzene (D), both (C) and (D) are less reactive than benzene.
