Nitration of benzene is an electrophilic substitution reaction. Presence of electron releasing group such as —CH3 activates the benzene nucleus towards electrophilic substitution while presence of electron withdrawing group such as —NO2 deactivates the benzene nucleus towards electrophilic substitution. Therefore, the ease of nitration decreases in the order
Toluene > benzene > m-dinitrobenzene
Thus, toluene will undergo nitration most easily.
