Order of reactivity towards nucleophilic substitution reaction of the compounds

Question

Order of reactivity towards nucleophilic substitution reaction of the compounds (A) i > ii > iii > iv (B) ii > i > iii > iv (C) iv > iii > ii > i (D) iii > iv > ii. > i

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Electron-withdrawing groups increase and electron-donating groups decrease the reactivity towards nucleophilic substitution. Further, more the number of electron-withdrawing groups, higher is the reactivity. Thus, option (c), i.e., iv > iii > ii > i is correct.
