Abstract

Abstract Advantages of the electrochemical approach in the nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction, such as (a) low cost and ready availability of reagents,(b) atom economy, and (c) high yields (approaching 100%), are applied to rationalize the (polar or radical) mechanism and to develop new greener synthetic routes for the synthesis of substituted nitroaromatic organophosphorus compounds. The nucleophiles used to study ...
