Aryl halides (ArX) does not show nucleophilic substitution reaction as they have strong C−X bond.
Above reaction involve nucleophilic substitution reaction. Thus ArCN cannot be prepared by reaction of ArX and KCN.
Only alkyl halide can be prepared by this method. C6H5CONH2P2O5Heatbenzene carbonitrileC6H5CN+H2O C6H5CONH2SO2ClC6H5CN+SO2+2HCl ArN2+Xˉ+:CˉNCuCNKClArCN+N2+Xˉ:
