Abstract

Relations of rates of the vicarious nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen (VNS) and SNAr substitution of fluorine in 2-fluoronitrobenzenes with chloroalkyl aryl sulfone carbanions were determined from competitive experiments carried out at various concentrations of base. The observed dependence of the VNS/SNAr rate ratio on the base concentration confirmed the two-step mechanism of the VNS, which consists of reversible formation of σH adducts ...
