Question:medium
The compound that is most reactive towards electrophilic nitration is
The compound that is most reactive towards electrophilic nitration is
Show Hint
For electrophilic substitution:
Activating groups:
\[
-CH_3,\ -OH,\ -NH_2
\]
Deactivating groups:
\[
-NO_2,\ -COOH,\ -CHO,\ -SO_3H
\]
More electron density means faster nitration.
