The correct order of reactivity for reactions involving cleavage of \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{Cl}\) bond in following compounds is

  1. A I \(\gt\) II \(\gt\) III
  2. B II \(\gt\) III \(\gt\) I
  3. C III \(\gt\) I \(\gt\) II
  4. D III \(\gt\) II \(\gt\) I
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) III \(\gt\) II \(\gt\) I

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Greater the number of electron withdrawing groups \(\left(-\mathrm{NO}_2\right)\) at \(\mathrm{o} / \mathrm{p}\) position, greater is the reactivity. Hence, 2,4,6-trinitrochlorobenzene has the highest reactivity.
