Question
Why are haloalkanes more reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions than haloarenes and vinylic halides?
Advertisements
Solution
Haloalkanes are more reactive than haloarenes and vinylic halides because of the presence of a partial double bond character C-X bond in haloarenes and vinylic halides. Hence they do not undergo nucleophilic reactions easily.
