Question:
HOW nitro group to at ortho and para positions increase the reactivity of haloarenes towards nucleophillic substitution reaction?
Answer:
The reactivity of haloarenes can be increased by introducing electron withdrawing groups such as the nitro group (-NO2) in the ortho and para positions. More the number of electron withdrawing groups at the ortho and para positions the higher, is the reactivity.
