Give reasons :The presence of nitro group (-NO2)at O/P positions increases the reactivity of haloarenes towards nucleophilic substitution reactions.

Answer»

-NO2 acts as Electron withdrawing group or -l effect.

Detailed Answer:

In haloarenes, NO2 group is present at O/P position results in the stabilisation of resulting carbanion by-R and - I effects and therefore increases the reactivity of haloarenes towards nucleophilic substitution reactions.

204.

Account for the following (a) Haloarenes are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions.(b) Grignard reagents should be prepared under anhydrous conditions .(c) Melting point of p- dichlorobenzene is more than O & m isomers.

Answer»

(a) due to resonance a partial double bond character is developed between C & X or any other suitable reason 

(b) because they are highly reactive towards any source of H+

(c) due to more symmetry of p-dichlorobenzene. 

205.

207.

Cyanide ion acts as an ambident nucleophile. From which end it acts as a stronger nucleophile in aqueous medium? Give reason for your answer.

Answer»

It acts as a stronger nucleophile from the carbon end because it will lead to the formation of C – C bond which is more stable (bond between two similar atoms) than C – N bond.

208.

Why HNO3 is added during iodination of benzene.

Answer»

When benzene is reacted with iodine, the reaction is reversible in nature. It leads to the formation of reactants back. Therefore and oxidizing agent like HNO3 oxidizes the HI formed in the reaction to I2 keeps the reaction in forward direction.
