The correct order of increasing reactivity of
CX bond towards nucleophile in the following compounds is
CX bond towards nucleophile in the following compounds is
- AI < II < IV < III
- BII < III < I < IV
- CIV < III < I < II
- DIII < II < I < IV
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
The order of reactivity is dependent on the
stability of the intermediate carbocation formed by
cleavage of C—X bond. The 3° carbocation formed
in III will be more stable than its 2° homologue (IV)
which in turn will be more stable than arenium
ion (I). Moreover, the aryl halide has a double
bond character in the C—X bond which makes
the cleavage more difficult. On other hand II will
be more reactive than I due to presence of electron
withdrawing —NO2 group. C—X bond becomes
weak and undergoes nucleophilic substitution
reaction
So Correct order is I < II < IV < III.
