The order of decreasing reactivity towards an electrophilic reagent, for the following compounds, is

- A (i) > (ii) > (iii) > (iv)
- B (ii) > (iv) > (i) > (iii)
- C (iv) > (iii) > (ii) > (i)
- D (iv) > (ii) > (i) > (iii)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) (iv) > (ii) > (i) > (iii)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The reactant which contains the electron donating group increases the reactivity towards electrophilic reagent. Hence, the correct order is phenol \(>\) Toluene \(>\) Benzene \(>\) Chlorobenzene.
