Highly regioselective 4-hydroxy-1-methylpiperidine mediated aromatic nucleophilic substitution on a perfluorinated phthalimide core

Modern Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution

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.

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...

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.

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The nitro group of methyl 3-nitropyridine-4-carboxylate (1) has successfully been replaced by fluoride anion via nucleophilic aromatic substitution to give the 3-fluoro- pyridine-4-carboxylate 2.
