If the leaving group is meta to the nitro group, the reaction is not observed18.4 Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution [ 1 st Step ] Aromatic ring is attacked by a nucleophile F orm the intermediate Meisenheimer complex [ 2 nd Step ] Leaving group is expelled by ring attacking E + R estore aromaticity18.5 Elimination and Addition Absence of powerful EWG RXN cannot occur But in condition of high temperature and pressure, RXN can occur RXN also can at lower temperature using the amide ion (H 2 N − ) as a nucleophileThank You Q A{nameOfApplication=Show}
