Between Nitrobenzene with an Acetophenone attached and Nitrobenzene with an Ethyl attached, who is more reactive?
Accepted Answer
Nitrobenzene with an acetophenone attached is more reactive. The acetophenone group is an electron-withdrawing group, making the ring more susceptible to electrophilic attack. The ethyl group, on the other hand, is an electron-donating group, making the ring less reactive.
