Rank each of the following compounds in decreasing order of reactivity towards Friedel-Crafts alkylation. Most reactive = 1; if a compound will not react, rank it as "non" rather than assigning a numerical value. Compound A: anisole Compound B: toluene Compound C: benzoic acid Compound D: benzaldehyde
