Why aryle halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution with anions?

Answer»

e!!!____________________________Aryl halides are RELATIVELY unreactive toward nucleophilic substitutionreactions. This LACK of reactivity is due to several factors. Steric HINDRANCE CAUSED by the benzene ring of the aryl halide prevents S N2 reactions. Likewise, phenyl cations are unstable, thus MAKING S N1 reactions impossible.===='''''"''===:::::::::::::::::=========''''''''====
