Abstract

The nucleophilic substitution of N-(p-fluorophenyldiphenylmethyl)-4-picolinium chloride was investigated using water and a range of alcoholic nucleophiles in ionic liquid solvents. The reactivity patterns across the nucleophiles examined could be attributed to steric factors, which mediated the relative nucleophilicities. Reducing the hydrogen-bond acidity of the ionic liquid cation was found to generally increase the rate of reaction, however, the ...
