- Elemental fluorine Part 12. Fluorination of 1,4-disubstituted aromatic compounds
-
Direct fluorination of a series of 1,4-disubstituted benzene derivatives in acid reaction media at convenient temperature leads, in many cases, to selectively fluorinated aromatic products in preparatively useful conversions and yields.

- A novel method for the nitration of simple aromatic compounds
-
Simple aromatic compounds such as benzene, alkylbenzenes, halogenobenzenes, and some disubstituted benzenes are nitrated in excellent yields with high regioselectivity under mild conditions using zeolite β as a catalyst and a stoichiometric quantity of nitric acid and acetic anhydride. The zeolite can be recycled, and the only byproduct is acetic acid, which can be separated easily from the nitration product by distillation; the process is inexpensive and represents an attractive method for the clean synthesis of a range of nitroaromatic compounds. For example, nitration of toluene gives a quantitative yield of mononitrotoluenes, of which 79% is 4-nitrotoluene; fluorobenzene gives a quantitative yield of mononitro compounds, of which 94% is 4-nitrofluorobenzene; and 2-fluorotoluene gives a 96% yield of mononitro products, of which 90% is the 5-nitro isomer and 10% is the 4-nitro isomer.

- Charge control in the S(N)Ar reaction. Meta substitution with respect to the activating nitro group in 3,4-dihalogenonitrobenzenes
-
The reactions of 3-fluoro-4-chloronitrobenzene and of 3,5-difluoro-4-chloronitrobenzene with thiophenoxide anion lead to predominant substitution of the chlorine atom through S(N)Ar orbital-controlled processes. However, when harder nucleophiles (methoxide anion) are used, the substitution of a fluorine atom meta with respect to the activating nitro group becomes apparent in the reaction of 3-fluoro-4-chloronitrobenzene, predominant in the reaction of 5-fluoro-4-chloro-3-methyoxynitrobenzene, and almost exclusive in the reaction of 3,5-difluoro-4-chloronitrobenzene. Kinetic measurements and theoretical calculations indicate that the observed meta substitution of a fluorine atom is a S(N)Ar charge-controlled reaction with a loosely bonded transition state.
