The compound that reacts the fastest with sodium methoxide is
Correct answer
2
Step-by-step solution
Normal haloarenes do not undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions. Whereas, electron withdrawing groups facilitates the attack of the nucleophiles on haloarenes. Since, 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene have two nitro groups, so, it will react the fastest with sodium ethoxide
