Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:
The correct order of given compounds from greatest tendency to least tendency to undergo nucleophilic
Concept Introduction:
Nucleophilic aromatic substitution takes place if the aryl halides have one or more substituents that strongly withdraw electrons from the ring by resonance.
Electrophilic aromatic substitution takes place when an electrophile displaces a hydrogen atom of an aromatic ring.
b)
Interpretation:
The correct order of given compounds from greatest tendency to least tendency to undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution is to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Nucleophilic aromatic substitution takes place if the aryl halides have one or more substituents that strongly withdraw electrons from the ring by resonance.
Electrophilic aromatic substitution takes place when an electrophile displaces a hydrogen atom of an aromatic ring.
