In Normal reaction conditions Chlorobenzone does not react with NaoH, But 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene reacts with NaoH in these conditions. Explain |
|
Answer» Explanation:If we compare the structures of chloro-benzene and 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene then in one structure there is presence of nitro group (-NO_2)(−NO 2 ) which is very strong electron withdrawing activates the RING for the nucleophilic attackWhen the reaction with chloro-4-nitrobenzene OCCURS, SNAR mechanism takes PLACE, because Meisenheimer's INTERMEDIATE is stabilized by resonance |
