Aryl displacement reactions

Displacement reactions with oxygen nucleophiles are of potential commercial interest. Alkaline hydrolysis provides 2-fluoro-6-hydroxypyridine [55758-32-2], a precursor to 6-fluoropyridyl phosphoms ester insecticides (410—412). Other oxygen nucleophiles such as bisphenol A and hydroquinone have been used to form aryl—pyridine copolymers (413).

The advantage of the activated displacement polymerization is the facile incorporation of different and unconventional structural units in the polymer backbone. Most of the heteroarylene activated polyethers prepared by this route are soluble in many organic solvents. The solubility behavior of new polyethers is shown in Table 8. In contrast to many polyphenylenequi-noxalines, poly(aryl ether phenylquinoxalines) prepared by the quionoxaline activated displacement reaction are soluble in NMP. Solubility in NMP is important since it is frequently used for polymer processing in the microelectronics industry [27]. 

Sn2 and SN2 Reactions with Halides and Sulfonates. Corey and Posner discovered that lithium dimethylcuprate can replace iodine or bromine by methyl in a wide variety of compounds, including aryl, alkenyl, and alkyl derivatives. This halogen displacement reaction is more general and gives higher yields than displacements with... 

A phase-transfer catalysed nucleophilic displacement reaction on chloro-acetanilides by cyanate ions, followed by ring-closure (Scheme 5.10), provides a simple and viable synthesis of hydantoins [41], The formation of the hydantoins is inhibited by substituents in the orf/to-position of the aryl ring, but the addition of potassium iodide, or tetra-n-butylammonium iodide, generally increases the overall rate of formation of the cyclic compounds, presumably by facilitating the initial nucleophilic substitution step. 

Brunelle, in Chapter 5, has provided a solution to the problem of quaternary ammonium catalysts being unstable at elevated temperatures in the presence of highly nucleophilic anions. He found that catalysts based on p-dialkylaminopyridinium salts are approximately one hundred times more stable than simple tetraalkylammonium salts and are useful even up to temperatures of 180 C. Especially valuable is the fact that under these conditions a variety of nucleophilic displacement reactions on aryl halides occurs, making possible the economical commercial synthesis of otherwise difficulty available poly aryl ethers and sulfides. 

A double displacement reaction (27) was shown to occur with aryl benzoates (Van Etten, 1967b). 

Aryloxy groups are much easier to displace compared to primary and secondary alkox-ide anions and so, aryl ethers are generally more useful in displacement reactions. Amine nucleophiles react with unsymmetrical aryl ethers to form the amine of the heavier nitrated moiety.Accordingly, 2,4,6-trinitrodiphenyl ether reacts with ammonia to expel phenoxide... 

For the synthesis of selenocysteine derivatives that are suitable for peptide synthesis essentially two approaches have been used to date (1) conversion of p-chloroalanine 23 or serine-O-tosylate derivatives 24 into the desired selenocysteine derivatives by a nucleophilic displacement reaction with an areneselenol and (2) full reduction of selenocystine and in situ reaction with aryl halides to produce the aryl selenides. 7 25 In this context, reduction of selenocystine in 2 M NaOH with 2-methyl-2-propanethiol for concomitant formation of the mixed selenide/sulfide derivative 5e-(tert-butylsulfanyl)selenocysteine in analogy to the formation of 5-(fett-butylsulfanyl)cysteine 26 fails as a consequence of the difficult reduction of the diselenide with monothiols. 27 ... 

An alternate and more controlled approach to the synthesis of phenothiazines involves sequential aromatic nucleophilic displacement reactions. This alternate scheme avoids the formation of the isomeric products that are sometimes observed to form from the sulfuration reaction when using substituted aryl rings. The first step in this sequence consists of the displacement of the activated chlorine in nitrobenzene (30-1) by the salt from orf/io-bromothiophenol (30-2) to give the thioether (30-3). The nitro group is then reduced to form aniline (30-4). Heating that compound in a solvent such as DMF leads to the internal displacement of bromine by amino nitrogen and the formation of the chlorophenothiazine (30-4). Alkylation of the anion from that intermediate with 3-chloro-l-dimethylaminopropane affords chlorpromazine (30-5) [31]. 

There is certain similarity in the order of reactivities between SNAr displacement reactions and oxidative additions in palladium chemistry. Therefore, the ease with which the oxidative addition occurs for these he ter o aryl chlorides has a comparable trend. Even a- and y-chloroheterocycles are sufficiently activated for Pd-catalyzed reactions, whereas chlorobenzene requires sterically hindered, electron-rich phosphine ligands. 

Some of the methods by which alkyl halides are prepared do not work for aryl halides because it is difficult to form C-halogen bonds at aromatic ring carbons by nucleophilic displacement reactions. The most common ways... 

However, displacement reactions of this type differ from the previously discussed displacements of activated aryl halides in that rearrangement often occurs. That is, the entering group does not always occupy the same position on the ring as that vacated by the halogen substituent. For example, the hydrolysis of 4-chloromethylbenzene at 340° gives an equimolar mixture of 3- and 4-methylbenzenols ... 

Displacement reactions with nitrite ion do not work well with aryl halides. However, displacement of the diazonium group is a practical route to nitroarenes (the Sandmeyer reaction), as described in Section 23-10B ... 

Sequential displacement reactions of Pd(CF3COCHCOCF3)2 with triarylformazans provides the highly colored chelates Pd(CF3COCHCOCF3)[(aryl)3CN4] and Pd[(aryl)3CN4]2.250... 

Mechanistic features of SNAr displacement reactions involving amino nucleophiles have been the object of many investigations, a major point of interest being the occurrence of base-catalyzed paths. Strongly activated aryl halides react readily with ammonia and with primary and secondary amines to give the corresponding arylamines. Thus, for example, 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene is used to tag the amino end of a peptide or protein chain. 

It can be used in nucleophilic -displacement reactions of unactivated aryl halides4 that originally were only possible in solutions in HMPT. An example is the reaction of C6C16 or C6F6 with the sodiu m salts of thiols to give hexakis(alkylthio)benzenes in >90% yield4, s. Indeed, hex akis(/ -naphthylthio)benzene (2) was prepared by reaction of hexachlorobenzene and the sodium salt of J -mercaptonaphthalene in 1 in 72% yield. Hexasubstituted ben zenes such as 2 are of interest because they can function as inclusion hosts related to clathrates of phenol.h... 

Under nucleophilic attack from excess n-butyllithium, 150 loses all its aryl ligands and pentabutylstiborane is produced 137). Similar exhaustive aryl displacements had been observed in reactions of pentaphenylstiborane with butyl- and methyllithium 46). With the less nucleophilic phenyllithium, for 150 the reaction stops essentially after the first substitution step and the new monocyclic pentaarylstiborane 161 is generated. Corresponding monocyclic pentaarylstiboranes 163, 164 are obtained from the oxydi-o-phenylene group-containing spirocyclic stiboranes 151 and 152 with phenyllithium in the mixed-cyclic case (151 163) only the six-membered ring is cleaved for entropic reasons 137). 

Reactions of organomagnesium compounds with sulfoxides often result in ligand exchange [31], and may be complicated by a- or ortho metallation. However, in some cases, notably with 2-pyridyl aryl sulfoxides, reactions with arylmagnesium halides give useful yields of products from displacement of the aryl sulfoxido group [32, 33], e.g. [32]...
