Question

Why haloarenes are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions?

Answer 1

Answer:

Haloarenes are less reactive than haloalkanes towards nucleophilic substitution reaction. ... The sp2 hybridized carbon atom has more s-character because of which the electron pairs are more tightly held in the Haloarenes as compared to haloalkanes thus reducing the size of haloalkanes and making the Haloarenes stronger.

Answer 2

Explanation:

haloarenes are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions because

The sp2 hybridized carbon atom has more s-character because of which the electron pairs are more tightly held in the Haloarenes as compared to haloalkanes thus reducing the size of haloalkanes and making the Haloarenes stronger.
