A) Benzene
B) Mesitylene
C) Toluene
D) m-xylene
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Mesitylene (1, 3, 5-trimethyl benzene) has three, m-xylene (1, 3-dimethylbenzene) has two while toluene has only one electron donating \[II<\text{ }III<I<IV\] group. Therefore, electron density is maximum in mesitylene and hence, it is most reactive towards ring nitration.You need to login to perform this action.
