Arrange the following compounds in the increasing order of their reactivity when each of them is reacted with chloroethane / anhydrous AlCl\(_3\).
- A D < A < B < C
- B C < B < A < D
- C D < B < A < C
- D C < D < B < A
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) D < B < A < C
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The reaction of chloroethane with anhydrous \(AlCl_{3}\) is a Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction. This reaction is an electrophilic aromatic substitution where the benzene ring acts as a nucleophile. The reactivity of the aromatic ring towards electrophilic substitution depends…
