Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution of Polyfluoroarene to Access Highly Functionalized 10-Phenylphenothiazine Derivatives

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.

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 ...

Alternative Access to Functionalized 2,8-Ethanonoradamantane Derivatives.

7a-(Methoxycarbonyl)-N-methyl-1,3a,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-4H-1,4,6-(epiethane[1,1,2]triyl)indene-4,9-dicarboximide has been prepared through a modification of a previous synthetic sequence, in which the benzyloxymethyl hydroxyl protecting group has been replaced by methoxymethyl, to avoid the apparent formation of a benzyl ester derivative as a side product. The overall yield of the new synthetic s...

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...
