If the ring substituents are electron-withdrawing, they generally deactivate the ring towards nucleophilic attack. The presence of such groups can make the reaction slower as compared to a reaction with a more electron-rich substrate. Nitro groups (-NO2) are common electron-withdrawing substituents. They decrease the electron density on the ring, making it less nucleophilic and hence less reactive.
