A Simple Synthetic Route to Methyl 3-Fluoropyridine-4-carboxylate by Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution

A simple synthetic route to methyl 3-fluoropyridine-4-carboxylate by nucleophilic aromatic substitution.

The nitro group of methyl 3-nitropyridine-4-carboxylate (1) has successfully been replaced by fluoride anion via nucleophilic aromatic substitution to give the 3-fluoro- pyridine-4-carboxylate 2.

Modern Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution

Corrole and nucleophilic aromatic substitution are not incompatible: a novel route to 2,3-difunctionalized copper corrolates.

The insertion of a -NO2 group onto the corrole framework represents a key step for subsequent synthetic manipulation of the macrocycle based on the chemical versatility of such a functionality. Here we report results of the investigation of a copper 3-NO2-triarylcorrolate in nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions with "active" methylene carbanions, namely diethyl malonate and diethyl 2-ch...

A QM/MM study of a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction catalyzed by 4-chlorobenzoyl-CoA dehalogenase.

Calculated using a QM/MM method, the free energy profile for the conversion of 4-chlorobenzoate to 4-hydroxybenzoate catalyzed by 4-chlorobenzoyl-CoA dehalogenase indicates the existence of a stable Meisenheimer complex.

Transetherification of 2,4-dimethoxynitrobenzene by aromatic nucleophilic substitution

In view of the few reports concerning aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions featuring an alkoxy group as a leaving group, the aromatic nucleophilic substitution of 2,4-dimethoxynitrobenzene was investigated with a bulky t-butoxide nucleophile under microwave irradiation. The transetherification of 2,4-dimethoxynitrobenezene with sodium t-butoxide under specific conditions, namely for 20 ...
