Nucleophilic substitution reactions of monofunctional nucleophilic reagents with cyclotriphosphazenes containing 2,2-dioxybiphenyl units

Nucleophilic substitution reactions of pyranose polytosylates.

The 2,3,4-tri-toluenesulfonate ester derivatives of the methyl pyranosides of l-arabinose, d-ribose, d-lyxose, and d-xylose have been prepared, and their substitution reactions with various nucleophiles have been examined. For arabinose, xylose, and ribose, highly regioselective monosubstitutions were observed with benzoate, nitrite, and azide anions. These reactions have led to short and simpl...

Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions of α-Bromoacetanilides with Benzylamines

Kinetic studies of the reactions of α-bromoacetanilides [YC6H4NHC(=O)CH2Br] with substituted benzylamines (XC6H4CH2NH2) have been carried out in dimethyl sulfoxide at 35.0 C. The Hammett plots for substituent (Y) variations in the substrate (log kN vs. σY) are biphasic concave upwards/downwards with breaks at Y = 4-Cl (σY = 0.23). The Hammett coefficients ρY and the cross-interaction constant ρ...

Nucleophilic Substitution and Elimination

What does the term "nucleophilic substitution" imply? • A nucleophile is an the electron rich species that will react with an electron poor species • A substitution implies that one group replaces another. Nucleophilic substitution reactions occur when an electron rich species, the nucleophile, reacts at an electrophilic saturated C atom attached to an electronegative group (important), the lea...

Modern Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution

Gas phase nucleophilic substitution

The literature on gas phase nucleophilic substitution reactions at aliphatic carbon has been reviewed. The emphasis has been on journal articles published in the period 1990–2001. The present review outlines our current understanding of concepts such as potential energy surfaces, structure–energy relationships, microsolvation, and dynamical and mechanistic details based on both experimental and...
