JEE Class main Answered

Is fluorobenzene or chlorobenzene more reactive towards SNAr ( Substitution Aromayic Nucleophilic Reaction) ? I heard it is fluorobenzene but shouldn't it be chlorobenzene because chlorine deactivates the benzene ring more than fluorine?

In Substitution aromatic nucleophilic reaction, A negatively charged complex(Meisenheimer Complex) is formed.This negatively charged complex will be more stable in fluorobenzene as compared to chlorobenzene because of high -I effect of Fluorine. So due to stablisation of product intermediate reaction fluorobenzene is more reactive than chlorobenzene.
