Question

Out of Chlorobenzene and Cyclohexyl chloride, which one is more reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction and why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cyclohexyl Chloride is more Reactive towards Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction.

Explanation:

Arenas Are Least Reactive compounds for SN Reactions Because

1. Electron rich arenas repel incoming nucleophile

2. because of resonance CX bond in arene get partial double bond character by which its tough to displace halide ion by incoming nucleophile

3. the Sp2 hybridisation in arene hold electron more tightly then in sp3 hybridisation in cyclohexyl chloride

Answer 2

Answer:

. Out of Chlorobenzene and Cyclohexyl chloride, which one is more reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction and why? Ans. Cyclohexyl chloride is more reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction because C—Cl bond strength is less in cyclohexyl chloride than chlorobenzene.
