Question 68
Consider the three aromatic molecules (P, Q and R): P = N,N-dimethylaniline; Q = N,N,2-trimethylaniline (one ortho methyl on the ring); R = N,N,2,6-tetramethylaniline (two ortho methyls on the ring, flanking the dimethylamino group). The correct order regarding the reactivity of these compounds with Ph-N≡N⁺Cl⁻ under optimum but slightly acidic medium is:
- A. P > Q > RCorrect answer
- B. R > P > Q
- C. R > Q > P
- D. P > R > Q
