Identify the correct order of reactivity of the following haloarenes on treatment with \(\mathrm{NaOH} ?\)

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) II \(>\) IV \(>\) I \(>\) III

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Reactivity of haloarene towards \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) depends on electron withdrawing group because electron density in \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{Cl}\) bond decreases and displacement of nucleophile occurs. More be the number of electron-withdrawing groups more is the reactivity. Thus,…
