Question

Explain why haloarenes are much less reactive than haloalkanes towards nucleophilic substitution reactions. b)Which compound in each of the following pairs will react faster in SN2 reaction with hydroxide ion? why? i) CH3Br or CH3I ii) (CH3)3CCI or CH3Cl

Answer 1

Bcz haloarenes have Resonance or Partial double bond effect so they are less reactive than haloalkanes.
CH3I goes in SN2 reaction may be.
