Q. Correct order of rate of EAS (electrophilic aromatic substitution) ?Chemistry Question Image

Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution:

Rate of EAS $\propto$ Nucleophilicity of aromatic ring $\propto$ EDG (electron donating group)
$\propto \frac{1}{\text { EWG }}$ (electron withdrawing group)
