                                      Among the following the one which reacts most readily with ethanol is:

    A) p -nitro benzyl bromide

    B) p-chlorobenzyl bromide

    C) p-methoxybenzyl bromide

    D) p -methyl benzyl bromide

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Among these all groups, \[A{{g}^{+}}+2C{{N}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{[Ag{{(CN)}_{2}}]}^{-}}\] group has maximum electron withdrawing character hence, it increase the polarity of \[\alpha \] bond and thus increase the rate of \[\beta \] reaction. So p-nitro benzyl bromide reacts most readily with ethanol.
