Benzene has a stable structure. Aspirin has an carboxylic group with delocalized electrons. So aspirin is more reactive than benzene.

Why phenoxide ion is more reactive than phenol toward electrophilic subsititution reaction?
In the phenoxide ion the charge is delocalized by the resonance in the benzene ring. There is no such delocalization in the ethoxide ion.
Is mercury more reactive than zinc?
Zinc is more reactive than mercury.
Is calcium more reactive than strontium?
No, strontium is more reactive than calcium.
Is lithium or Neon more reactive?
Lithium is more reactive than Neon.
Is magnesium more reactive than nickel?
No chromium is more reactive than chromium because it it located farther right on the periodic table than nickel. No chromium is more reactive than nickel because it it located farther right on the periodic table than nickel. No chromium is more reactive than nickel because it it located farther right on the periodic table than nickel. No chromium is more reactive than nickel because it it located farther right on the periodic table than nickel.
Why do 5-membered ring aromatic heterocycles pyrrole and furan undergo electrophilic substitution more rapidly than benzene while 6-membered ring heterocycles like pyridine are less reactive than Benz?
pyridine is less reactive than benzene because when we form its conjugate base then it'll b more stable than dat of benzene.. so more stabler means less reactive.......and also due to more resonance in benzene it will b more reactive...same 4 furan and pyrrole
Is benzene less reactive towards electrophillic substitution reaction?
No, Haloarenes are less reactive than benzene towards electrophillic substitution reaction. This is because the halogen atom attached to benzene ring in haloarenesis slightly deactivating and orthoand para directing. so attack can only take place at orthoand para. Also the halogen atom in Haloarenesdue to its -I effect has some tendancyto withdraw electrons from the benzene ring and hence making it deactivating.Since the ring gets deactivated as compared to benzene, haloarenesare less reactive than benzene in electrophillicsubstituionreaction.
Why is benzene less reactive than alkenes though it has three pi bonds?
It's because of resonance, which is the delocalization of electrons (the pi electrons). This delocalization lowers the potential energy of the benzene and thus renders in more stable.
Why is benzene classified as an aromatic compound?
There isn't such a thing as more aromatic. Something is aromatic or not. If you are referring to the stabilization due to aromaticity, naphthalene has more electrons in the stabilizing Pi-system is therefore more stabilized.
Is magnesium more reactive than sodium?
sodium is more reactive than magnesium!
Would a metal in group 13 be more or less reactive than a metal in group 12?
Zn is more reactive than Ga, Cd is more reactive than In; but Tl is more reactive than Hg.
Why phenoxide ion is more reactive than phenol toward electrophilic subsititution reaction?
In the phenoxide ion the charge is delocalized by the resonance in the benzene ring. There is no such delocalization in the ethoxide ion.
