Which aromatic compound is more reactive towards electrophilic substitution?
benzene
chlorobenzene
phenol
toluene
Correct answer: phenol
But, according to me, the answer should be toluene.
My reason: Toluene is an ortho-para directing group as well as an electron-donating group which increases the electron density at ortho-para position and activates the aromatic ring towards electrophilic substitution.
Where I am wrong?
