Why do aromatic compounds with nucleophilic groups bonded directly to the aromatic ring not undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions under ordinary conditions?
Why do aromatic compounds with nucleophilic groups bonded directly to the aromatic ring not undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions under ordinary conditions?
- Due to the high electronegativity of the leaving group.
- Due to the presence of a π bond on the key atom of the functional group. (correct)
- Because of the electron-donating nature of the aromatic ring.
- Because the nucleophilic group is sterically hindered.
