MCQ
Correct order of electrophilic substitution reaction is :
  • A
    $a > b > c > d$
  • B
    $d > b > a > c$
  • C
    $b > a > c > d$
  • $b > a > d > c$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$b > a > d > c$
d
The electrophilic substitution reaction depends upon electron withdrawing groups $(EWG)$ such as $- X,\,- CHO$ etc.

andelectron donating groups $(EDG)$ such as $- OR ,\,- R$ etc. attached to the aromatic ring.

$EWG$ groups decreases the electron density on ring and $EWG$

groups increases the electron density on ring.

Therefore, the correct order is :

$b > a > c > d$
