Question:
Rank the following compounds from most to least reactive in an S{eq}_{N} {/eq}1 reaction.
![]() |
a) IV > III > I >II
b) III > II > I >IV
c) I > III > II >IV
d) I > IV > II > III
e) II > III > I > IV
Aromatic Halides
Aromatic halides do not easily undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction.
As in substitution nucleophilic reaction carbocation is formed as an intermediate but the carbocation formed in case of aromatic halide is unstable.
