hy does p-nitrochlorobenzene undergo nucleophilic substitution faster thar |
|
Answer» An electron withdrawing group will increase the de localization of negative charge and so it will increase the stability of intermediate. When a neucleophile attacks, on the p- nitro Chlorobenzene ,the intermediate produced shows a negative charge on the carbon adjacent to the nitro group(-NO2) , which is delocalized outside of the ring by the oxygen of the nitro group. So, the intermediate becomes more stable in comparison with the Chlorobenzene where no such effect is applied. Hence, due to more stability in intermediates, the p- nitro Chlorobenzene reacts waster than Chlorobenzene in neucleophilic substitution reactio |
