A) Benzene
B) Toluene
C) Benzoic acid
D) Nitrobenzene
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Nitration is an electrophilic substitution resection. Presence of electron releasing groups (ie, \[-C{{H}_{3}},-{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\] etc) activates the benzene nucleus more towards electrophilic substitution reactions. Thus, toluene \[({{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{H}_{3}})\] undergoes nitration more readily as compared to other given compounds.
