Q. Which of the following reaction does not take place?

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Solution:

Aryl halides having at least one hydrogen in ortho position undergo nucleophilic substitution with a very strong base like $KNH_{2}$ or $NaNH_{2}$ in Liquid ammonia. This reaction proceeds via benzyne (aryne) intermediate. When arlyhalides having no hydrogen ortho to the halogen do not react under the same conditions.
