Why are aryl halides less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions than alkyl halides |
|
Answer» why are aryl halides LESS reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions than alkyl halides ? Aryl halides are more stable and less reactive DUE to resonance where the LONE pair of electrons are in conjugation with a pie BOND whereas in alkyl halides the carbon halogen bond is a sigma bond MAKING aryl halides more stable than alkyl halides.
