Which of the following compounds is most readily nitrated with `HNO_(3 – InterviewSolution

1.	Which of the following compounds is most readily nitrated with `HNO_(3)` .?A. NitrobenzeneB. anilineC. Pheno1D. Benzene
Answer» Correct Answer - B Nitro group is a deactivater while `NH_(2)` as well as `OH` groups are activators as `N` is less electronegative than oxygen atom This helps N to use its lone pair (for conjugation with the benzene ring) more effectively .
