उत्तर
Aryl halides are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction due to the following reasons.
- In haloarenes, the lone pair of electron on halogen are in resonance with benzene ring. So, C – Cl bond acquires partial double bond character which strengthen C – Cl bond and difficult to be substituted by nucleophile.
Therefore, they are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction.
- In haloarenes, the carbon atom attached to halogen is sp2 hybridised. The sp2 hybridised carbon is more electronegative than sp3 hybridised carbon. This sp2-hybridised carbon in haloarenes can hold the electron pair of \[\ce{C - X}\] bond more tightly and make this \[\ce{C - Cl}\] bond shorter than \[\ce{C Cl}\] bond of haloalkanes.
Since, it is difficult to break a shorter bond than a longer bond, therefore, halorenes are less reactive than haloalkanes. - In haloarenesm the phenyl cation is not stabilised by resonance therefore SN1 mechanism cannot be followed.
- Because of the repulsion between the nucleophile and electron-rich arenas, aryl halides are less reactive than alkyl halides.
