A Simple MO Treatment on the Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions of Six-membered Aza-aromatic Compounds

Modern Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution

On the frontier between nucleophilic aromatic substitution and catalysis.

A study on the arylation of heteroatom nucleophiles by using activated haloarenes, with or without metal catalysts, is reported. A discussion concerning the involvement of traces of metals is presented, supported by an unexpected ''ligand'' effect in the absence of added metal catalysts. We believe that the frontier between nucleophilic aromatic substitution and catalysis will likely prove to b...

Synthesis of polynitroxides based on nucleophilic aromatic substitution.

The scope and limitations of the synthesis of polynitroxides by nucleophilic substitution of electron-deficient fluorinated aromatic compounds are described. The method provides a facile route to the formation of polynitroxides exhibiting strong electron exchange between nitroxide groups.

Utility of certain nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions for the assay of pregabalin in capsules

BACKGROUND Pregabalin (PG) is an anticonvulsant, analgesic and anxiolytic drug. A survey of the literature reveals that all the reported spectrophotometric methods are either don't offer high sensitivity, need tedious extraction procedures, recommend the measurement of absorbance in the near UV region where interference most probably occurs and/or use non specific reagent that don't offer suita...

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...
