The correct order of reactivity of following haloarenes towards nucleophilic substitution with aqueous NaOHNaOH is:

The correct order of reactivity of following haloarenes towards nucleophilic substitution with aqueous NaOH is: Choose

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. AA>B>D>CA > B > D > C
  2. BC>A>D>BC > A > D > B
  3. CD>C>B>AD > C > B > A
  4. DD>B>A>CD > B > A > C

Correct answer

D. D>B>A>CD > B > A > C

Step-by-step solution

The intermediate formed in aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction is carbanion. Carbanion stabilised by electron withdrawing groups. Aryl halides are less reactive towards nucleophilic aromatic substitution with aqueous NaOHNaOH. Introduction of electron releasing group like OCH3{OCH}_{3} group further decreases its reactivity towards nucleophilic substitution. But the introduction of electron withdrawing groups like NO2{NO}_{2} group particularly at the ortho and para position increases its reactivity towards nucleophilic substitution. Higher the number of electron withdrawing groups, higher the reactivity.
∴∴ The correct reactivity order is

The correct order of reactivity of following haloarenes towards nucleophilic substitution with aqueous NaOH is: Choose
