Hello, everyone

This question is related to nucleophility.

As the title, I want to know relative reactivity b/w 1,4-Bis(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene and 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone.

As you know, two chemicals can react with a nucleophile such as R-O-.

Which one is faster than the other one in terms of reation rate with the nucleophile?

And why?

If you are aiming for mono substitution, my guess is the second one 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone will react faster because the other molecule has a phenyl group in between.
