Abstract

The aromatic nucleophilic displacement of halides or the nitro group with strong nucleophiles in dipolar aprotic solvents is a well established method for functional group manipulation of aromatic compounds. 2 Unactivated or scarcely activated chlorobenzenes require high temperatures for this reaction to pr~ ceed.~ The direct displacement reaction of unactivated fluoronaphthalene with sodium thioalkoxides in dimethyl sulfoxide has been ...
