Which of the following would be least reactive towards bromide

A

Nitrobenzene

B

Phenol

C

Anisole

D

Chlorobenzene

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Nitrobenzene is least reactive towards bromine because of presence of `-NO_2` group decreases electron density at o and p positions and hence attack of electrophile on the benzene nucleus is difficult because + ve charge on o and p position repel the incoming electrophile.
