Which of the following undergoes nitration most easily?

A

Acetophenone

B

Benzonitrile

C

Benzaldehyde

D

benzene

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Acetophenone, benzonitrile, benzaldehyde and benzoic acid all contain electron-withdrawing groups, therefore, in all these compounds the electron density over the phenyl ring is lower than in benzene. Thus, benzene undergoes electrophilic nitration most readily.
