Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
Benzyl chloride is much more reactive than chlorobenzene because of the formation of the benzyl carbonium ion, C6H5-CH2(+). The (+)-charge is distributed into three carbons of the benzene ring by resonance. Thus, due to the positive charge, it is more reactive towards nucleophilic substitution.
What happened when bromobenzen React with KNH2 In presence of liquid NH3??
Which is more reactive chlorobenzene and chloroethane in the nucleophilic substitution and why?
