Decreasing order of reactivity towards electrophilic substitution for the following compounds is:
Options
- Ad > a > e > c > b
- Be > d > a > b > c
- Ca > d > e > b > c
- Dc > b > a > d > e
Correct answer
B. e > d > a > b > c
Step-by-step solution
Reactivity of aromatic compounds towards electrophilic substitution depends on the electron density on benzene ring. Higher the electron density on benzene ring, more be the reactivity towards electrophilic substitution reaction. Hence, the correct decreasing order is
