The Low Reactivity of Halobenzenes • The CX bond of halobenzenes is stronger than that of haloalkanes • partial bond character • Breaking of the CX bond requires a larger • amount of energy • substitution reactions of halobenzenes are • difficult to occur • The delocalization of electrons • makes the polarity of the CX bond decreased • the electropositive carbon centrebecomes much • less susceptible to nucleophilic attack • The delocalized electrons in the benzene ring • repel any approaching nucleophiles • Halobenzenes are unreactive towards SN2 reactions • Benzene cations are highly unstable • loss of aromaticity • Halobenzenes are unreactive towards SN1 reactions
