NUCLEOPHILIC SUBSTITUTION IN NITRO-SUBSTITUTED ARYL HALIDES... 

One group of aryl halides that do undergo nucleophilic substitution readily consists of those that bear a nitro group ortho or para to the halogen... 

In contrast to nucleophilic substitution m alkyl halides where alkyl fluorides are exceedingly unreactive aryl fluorides undergo nucleophilic substitution readily when the ring bears an o or a p nitro group... 

Polymerization via Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction. Halo- and nitro- groups attached to phthahmide groups are strongly activated toward nucleophilic substitution reactions. Thus polyetherimides ate synthesized by the nucleophilic substitution reaction of bishaloimides (59,60) and bisnitroimides (61,62) with anhydrous bisphenol salts in dipolar aptotic solvents. 

The second most important nucleophilic substitution in pyridazine A-oxides is the replacement of a nitro group. Nitro groups at the 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-position are easily substituted thermally with a chlorine or bromine atom, using acetyl chloride or hydrobromic acid respectively. Phosphorus oxychloride and benzoyl chloride are used less frequently for this purpose. Nitro groups in nitropyridazine A-oxides are easily replaced by alkoxide. The...

Mononitration of a mixture of J- and 4 chlorobenzotnfluondes followed by nucleophilic substitution by hydroxide, ammonia, or a primary or secondary amine in dimethylformamide, leads to 5 chloro 2 nitrobenzotrifluoride The 4-chloro-3-nitro isomer selectively reacts and can be removed as a water-soluble phenoxide [19] (equation 16)... 

Recently, the Bartoli indole synthesis was extended to solid supports. In contrast to the earlier reports in the liquid phase, o,o-unsubstituted nitro analogs (see 25) prove to be useful substrates. In addition, fluoro/chloro substituted nitro derivatives are well tolerated, which typically undergo nucleophilic substitution under Bartoli conditions in the liquid phase. 

Nucleophilic substitution has been used for the preparation of many thiophenes. For instance, 2-phenylthio-3,4-dinitro-5-piperidino-thiophene (155) has been prepared " through stepwise reaction of (150) with different nucleophiles. Nitrothienols and derivatives of them have been obtained from halogenated nitrothiophenes. " Allyl ethers have been prepared by the reaction of 5-chJoro-4-nitro-2-acetylthiophene, 3-nitro-2-chlorothiophene, and 2-nitro-3-bromothio-... 

The lack of a uniform order of relative reactivity of the halogens in reactions of certain nucleophiles with nitro- and polynitro-phenyl halides led Parker and Read to propose a one-stage mechanism for some aromatic nucleophilic substitutions. An alternative explanation within the framework of the two-stage S Ar2 mechanism had been proposed earlier. A range of mechanisms has been considered in the past by Chapman, who properly points out that only in a limited number of examples is the evidence for the two-stage mechanism compelling even though the balance of evidence favors it.
