Which one of the following undergoes nucleophilic aromatic substitution at the fastest rate?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
-I and -M group increases rate of
reaction.
Nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction is also known as
reaction. To perform
reaction benzene ring should have Positive charge on it self. As benzene ring has
cloud therefore it self acts as a nucleophile
in normal circumstances it cannot undergo
reaction. The Essential condition for
is "a strong electron withdrawing group must be present at directly attached position of the ring.

in this case
group shows
effect and generates +ve charge on the benzene ring. In this way Benzene ring behaves as an electrophile and a
can easily attack on it to perform
Ar reaction.
Mechanism.

Note-
group should present at
positions not at meta position to perform
reaction.
The order of -M effect is

∴
will undergo at fastest rate.
