Question

Nucleophilic substitution reaction of haloarenes

Answer 1

Nucleophilic aromatic substitution. A nucleophilic aromatic substitution is a substitution reaction in organic chemistry in which the nucleophile displaces a good leaving group, such as a halide, on an aromatic ring.

Answer 2

The carbon which binds with halogen takes part in this reaction. C-X is bond is broken during reaction and halogen atom is replaced by nucleophilic.

Characteristics of nucleophilic substitution reaction:

• It is one step mechanism.
• It follows bio molecular kinetic.
• Carbon in trasition state some to be pentavalent in which the attachment of OH^- and detachment proceed simultaneously.
