Question

why toulene is more readly nitrated than benzene​

Answer 1

Answer:

The CH3 group attached to the benzene ring increases the electron density through + H effect. The electrophile attacks to the substrate having high electron density. ... The substrate having high electron density can easily undergo EAS reaction.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The above said positions (ortho and para) are the most reactive towards an electron-poor electrophile, thus promoting electrophillic substitution reaction. The methyl group hence makes it around 25 times more reactive than benzene hence making its nitration more easier than that of benzene.
