question 53

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements explain why aryl halides and vinyl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution by either the S_N1 or S_N2 mechanism?

• B)They don't undergo S_N2 reactions because a higher percent s-character makes the bond shorter and stronger.
• C)They don't undergo S_N2 reactions because heterolysis of the C-X bond forms a highly unstable carbocation.
• D)They don't undergo S_N1 reactions because the carbocation is highly electronegative.
