Which of the following will undergo nitration most easily? Why? Benzene, m-Dinitrobenzene, toluene.

Toluene undergoes nitration more easily. This is because`-CH_3` group in toluene is electron donating. It increases the electron density in benzene. So electrophilic substitution reactions such as nitration take place more readily in toluene.
