Vedclass · Answer

(C) nucleophile is an electron-rich species that attacks an electron-deficient center. In the given options,the benzene ring is substituted with different groups. Nucleophilic aromatic substitution $(S_NAr)$ is facilitated by strong electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) that stabilize the intermediate carbanion (Meisenheimer complex). Among the options,the $-NH_3^+$ group is a very strong electron-withdrawing group due to its positive charge ($-I$ effect),which significantly increases the electrophilicity of the benzene ring,making it the most susceptible to nucleophilic attack.

Which of the following is most easily attacked by a nucleophile?
