Which out of o-chloronitrobenzene and 2, 4, 6-trinitrochlorobenzene is more reactive towards nucleophilic substitution?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which compound, o-chloronitrobenzene or 2,4,6-trinitrochlorobenzene, is more reactive towards nucleophilic substitution, we need to analyze the effects of the substituents on the electrophilicity of the carbon atom bonded to the chlorine atom. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structures**: - **o-Chloronitrobenzene** has one nitro group (–NO2) and one chlorine atom (–Cl) attached to the benzene ring. - **2,4,6-Trinitrochlorobenzene** has three nitro groups attached to the benzene ring along with the chlorine atom. ...
