Why p nitro chloro benzene is more reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction?
Answers
Answer:
Yes para nitro chloro benzene is more reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction than ortho or Meta nitro chloro benzene .
Explanation:
This is because the nitro group present at the para position cannot form R effect or Resonance effect with the chlorine atom and can only execute -I effect so it is not that stable a compound as ortho or Meta nitro chloro benzenee so it can easily leave the ring system that results in the formation of a carbocation that is easily attacked by a different nucleophile and the substitution reaction can easily take place as ortho nitro chloro benzene CA do both R and -I effect so it is a much more stable compound than p nitro chloro benzene and can't be easily substituted.
Answer:
p nitrobenzene.
Explanation:
As chlorine is Ortho and para directing compound.
so when nucleophile attacks on benzene ring, Chlorine direct it towards ortho and para positions. And NO2 is withdrawing group, which attract electrons from the carbon on which it is attach to give it a partial positive charge. So it makes it easy for nucleophile to attack on Nitro group.
