(b)2,4,6-trinitro chloro benzene is more reactive than chloro benzene towards SN reaction with aqueous
NaOH solution.
(c)Write Flokelsteins reaction
Answers
Explanation:
The presence of electron withdrawing groups such as NO2, CN etc., at ortho and para positions increase the reactivity of haloarenes.
Answer:
chlorobenzene is less reactive towards SN / nucleophilic substitution reaction.
in chlorobenzene the carbon atom to which halogen atom is attached sp² hybridized and highly electronegative in nature so it cannot be replaced by a nucleophile.
another reason, the activation energy, the chlorobenzene the lone pair of electrons on halogen atom is delocalized on the benzene ring .the resonance is more stable.
Finkelstein reaction:-
the reaction which is used by for alkyl halide in exchanging into another alkyl halide with the help of halide salt.
mechanism of this reaction is a single step that means SN² reaction mechanism.
the stereochemistry is inversion.
the factors which are important for this reaction are
- nucleophilicity.
- nature of the group.
- alkyl halogen bond.
- carbon halogen bond.
the reaction is more suitable for generally for primary halides and ∝-carbonyl halides and allyl benzyl.
