    Replacement of \[Cl\] of chlorobenzene to give phenol requires drastic conditions but chlorine of 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene is readily replaced. This is because

    A) \[N{{O}_{2}}\] makes the ring electron rich at ortho and para positions.

    B) \[N{{O}_{2}}\] withdraws \[{{e}^{-}}\] from meta-position.

    C) \[N{{O}_{2}}\] donates \[{{e}^{-}}\] at meta-position.

    D) \[N{{O}_{2}}\] withdraws \[{{e}^{-}}\] from ortho/para-positions.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[-N{{O}_{2}}\] group withdraws electrons from o- and p-positions and hence activates the -Cl present on that position towards nucleophilic substitution.
