Addition reactions electrophilic aromatic substitution

In addition to electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction and copper salts-mediated or -catalyzed C-H bond functionalization, nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction has also been explored to introduce the functional groups [60, 61]. One of successful examples is the amination reaction of dichloro-substituted azacalix[2]arene[2]triazine with various amines based on the reactivity of chlorotriazine moiety (Scheme 14.18) [60]. 

In addition to benzene and naphthalene derivatives, heteroaromatic compounds such as ferrocene[232, furan, thiophene, selenophene[233,234], and cyclobutadiene iron carbonyl complexpSS] react with alkenes to give vinyl heterocydes. The ease of the reaction of styrene with sub.stituted benzenes to give stilbene derivatives 260 increases in the order benzene < naphthalene < ferrocene < furan. The effect of substituents in this reaction is similar to that in the electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions[236].

The azo coupling reaction proceeds by the electrophilic aromatic substitution mechanism. In the case of 4-chlorobenzenediazonium compound with l-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid [84-87-7] the reaction is not base-catalyzed, but that with l-naphthol-3-sulfonic acid and 2-naphthol-8-sulfonic acid [92-40-0] is moderately and strongly base-catalyzed, respectively. The different rates of reaction agree with kinetic studies of hydrogen isotope effects in coupling components. The magnitude of the isotope effect increases with increased steric hindrance at the coupler reaction site. The addition of bases, even if pH is not changed, can affect the reaction rate. In polar aprotic media, reaction rate is different with alkyl-ammonium ions. Cationic, anionic, and nonionic surfactants can also influence the reaction rate (27). 

Detailed mechanistic studies by Fodor demonstrated the intermediacy of both imidoyl chlorides (6) and nitrilium salts (7) in Bischler-Napieralski reactions promoted by a variety of reagents such as PCI5, POCI3, and SOCh)/ For example, amide 1 reacts with POCI3 to afford imidoyl chloride 6. Upon heating, intermediate 6 is converted to nitrilium salt 7, which undergoes intramolecular electrophilic aromatic substitution to afford the dihydroisoquinoline 2. Fodor s studies showed that the imidoyl chloride and nitrilium salt intermediates could be generated under mild conditions and characterized spectroscopically. Fodor also found that the cyclization of the imidoyl chlorides is accelerated by the addition of Lewis acids (SnCU, ZnCh), which provides further evidence to support the intermediacy of nitrilium salts. ...

Systematic studies of the selectivity of electrophilic bromine addition to ethylenic bonds are almost inexistent whereas the selectivity of electrophilic bromination of aromatic compounds has been extensively investigated (ref. 1). This surprising difference arises probably from particular features of their reaction mechanisms. Aromatic substitution exhibits only regioselectivity, which is determined by the bromine attack itself, i.e. the selectivity- and rate-determining steps are identical. 

More than just a few parameters have to be considered when modelling chemical reactivity in a broader perspective than for the well-defined but restricted reaction sets of the preceding section. Here, however, not enough statistically well-balanced, quantitative, experimental data are available to allow multilinear regression analysis (MLRA). An additional complicating factor derives from comparison of various reactions, where data of quite different types are encountered. For example, how can product distributions for electrophilic aromatic substitutions be compared with acidity constants of aliphatic carboxylic acids And on the side of the parameters how can the influence on chemical reactivity of both bond dissociation energies and bond polarities be simultaneously handled when only limited data are available ...

The synthesis of 3-aryltetrahydroisoquinolines was accomplished by electrophilic aromatic substitution of polysubstituted phenols and phenyl ethers with Lewis acid-generated tosyliminium ions of 2-tosyl-3-methoxytetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives <00SL801>. In addition isoquinoline was reported to react with N-tosylated (R)- or (S)-amino acid fluorides to afford optically active dihydroimidazoisoquinolinones. The reaction proceeds via acylation followed by attack of the tosylamino group at Cl of the intermediate 2-tosylaminoacylisoquinolinium salt <00TL5479>. 

Presumably, the oxidative cyclization of 3 commences with direct palladation at the a position, forming o-arylpalladium(II) complex 5 in a fashion analogous to a typical electrophilic aromatic substitution (this statement will be useful in predicting the regiochemistry of oxidative additions). Subsequently, in a manner akin to an intramolecular Heck reaction, intermediate 5 undergoes an intramolecular insertion onto the other benzene ring, furnishing 6. (i-Hydride elimination of 6 then results in carbazole 4.

Hence the positional selectivity is different from that of the furan additions to 417 (Scheme 6.90). Assuming diradical intermediates for these reactions [9], the different types of products are not caused by the nature of the allene double bonds of 417 and 450 but by the properties of the allyl radical subunits in the six-membered rings of the intermediates. Also N-tert-butoxycarbonylpyrrole intercepted 450 in a [4 + 2]-cycloaddition and brought about 455 in 29% yield. Pyrrole itself and N-methylpyr-role furnished their substituted derivatives of type 456 in 69 and 79% yield [155, 171b]. Possibly, these processes are electrophilic aromatic substitutions with 450 acting as electrophile, as has been suggested for the conversion of 417 into 442 by pyrrole (Scheme 6.90). 

Abstract Aldehydes obtained from olefins under hydroformylation conditions can be converted to more complex reaction products in one-pot reaction sequences. These involve heterofunctionalization of aldehydes to form acetals, aminals, imines and enamines, including reduction products of the latter in an overall hydroaminomethylation. Furthermore, numerous conversions of oxo aldehydes with additional C.C-bond formation are conceivable such as aldol reactions, allylations, carbonyl olefinations, ene reactions and electrophilic aromatic substitutions, including Fischer indole syntheses.
