The compound that would be most reactive is Ethyne (answer A)

explanation

Ethyne is the most unsaturated among the four compounds ( it has a triple bond between the two carbon atoms) .

The triple bond in ethyne is made up of 1 sigma bond and 2π bond.

The 2π bond are weaker and can easily break which make Ethyne more reactive than Ethene, methane and Ethane.

Heterocyclic aromatic compounds undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution in a similar fashion to that undergone by benzene wi

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

When we talk about electrophilic substitution, we are talking about a substitution reaction in which the attacking agent is an electrophile. The electrophile attacks an electron rich area of a compound during the reaction.

The five membered furan ring is aromatic just as benzene. This aromatic structure is maintained during electrophilic substitution reaction. The attack of the electrophile generates a resonance stabilized intermediate whose canonical structures have been shown in the image attached.
