Assertion (A) Presence of a nitro group ...

Assertion (A) Presence of a nitro group at ortho or para position increases the reactivity of haloarenas towards nucleophilic substitution.
Reason (R ) Nitro group, being an electron withdrawing group decreases the electron density over the benzene ring.

A

Assertion and reason both are correct and reason is correct explanation of assertion

B

Assertion and reason both are wrong statements

C

Assertion is correct but reason is wrong statement

D

Assertion is wrong but reason is correct statement.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Assertion and reason both are correct and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
Presence of nitro group at ortho or para position increases the reactivity of haloarenes towards nucleophilic substitution because `-NO_(2)` group, being an electron withdrawing group decreases the electron density over the benzene ring.

Presence of a nitro group in a benzene ring

Give reasons for the following (a) The presence of -NO_2 group at ortho or para position increases the reactivity of haloarenes towards nucleophilic substitution reactions . (b) p-dichlorobenzene has higher melting point than of ortho or meta isomer . ( c) Thionyl chloride method is preferred for preparing alkyl chloride from alcohols.

Identify strongest electron withdrawing group among the given when attached to benzene ring ?

Assertion: Benzaldehyde is more reactive than ethanal towards nucleophilic attact. Reason : The overall effect of- l and +R effect of phenyl group decrease the electron density on the carbon atom of gtC = O group in benzaldehyde.

Assertion : Anhydrides are more reactive than ester for nucleophilic substitution Reason : R.COO– is better leaving group than R–O–

In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is following by a statement of reason (R ) is more reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction than R: NO_(2) group is electron withdrawaing so decreases the double bond of C-CI bond .

The typical reaction of benzene and other aromatic compounds are electrophilic substitution. Presence of electron donating group activates the ring towards electrophilic substitution, while presence of electron withdrawing group deactivates the ring towards electrophilic substituion but at the same time activates the ring towards nucleophilic subsituion. Some groups are predominantly meta-directing and all of these are deactivating. Except halogen, most of the o- and p- directing groups are activating groups. Which of the following compound is not formed. X represents mixture of organic compounds. The mixture does not contain
