Electrophilic and nucleophilic aromatic substitution: Analogous and complementary processes

Russian Chemical Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

Analysis of many variants of nucleophilic aromatic substitution of hydrogen proceeding according to an addition—elimination pattern reveals that this is the major reaction pathway, whereas nucleophilic replacement of halogen or another nucleofugal group is the secondary process, i.e.,ipso-substitution. In this respect electrophilic and nucleophilic aromatic substitution can be considered as analogous processes.
