QJEEM19Ch1386: JEE Main 2019 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEM19Ch1386 Solution: The increasing order of the reactivity of the following…
The increasing order of the reactivity of the following compounds towards electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions is :
Multiple Choice Options
AIII < II < I
BIII < I < II
CII < I < III
DI < III < II
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
CH3 group increases the electron density of benzene by +I effect and hyper conjugation effects and hence makes the compound more reactive towards electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.
Cl group decreases the electron density of benzene by –I effect.
COCH3 group strongly decreases the electron density of benzene by –I and –R effects.
