Electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) constitutes a fundamental class of reactions in which an electrophile replaces a hydrogen atom on an aromatic ring. The process typically proceeds via initial ...
WE have been studying the kinetics of aromatic nitration on the lines indicated in a prefatory publication 1, and in consequence have an opinion to offer on the question indicated by the title, which ...
Chemists have yet another use for fluorine, as a through-space activator for electrophilic aromatic substitutions. Thomas Lectka and coworkers at Johns Hopkins University used a Diels-Alder reaction ...
