Use a sheet of paper to answer the following question. Take a picture of your answers and attach to this assignment. Predict the product formed in the nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction between 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene and sodium methoxide (NaOCH3). Draw the mechanism of the reaction in (a), showing why the product you have selected is formed.

1-methoxy-2,4-dinitrobenzene

Explanation:

The nitro groups are strongly electron withdrawing and promote nucleophilic substitution reactions where one of the original substituents is removed and replaced by a strong nucleophile such as the methoxy group. The mechanism of the reaction is attached below. The electron withdrawing nitrogroup assists the formation of the intermediate in the reaction as shown.
