Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Among the given compounds, the one which reacts faster in nucleophilic
Concept introduction:
The replacement or substitution of one nucleophilic group with another different nucleophilic group on the aromatic ring is termed as a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction. The electron-rich chemical species that contains negative charge or lone pair of electrons are known as a nucleophile. In a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction, nucleophile takes the position of leaving group. They are of six types.
(b)
Interpretation:
Among the given compounds, the one which reacts faster in nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction with CH3-O- in CH3-OH is to be stated.
