Ga. Artamkina et Ip. Beletskaya, THE INTRODUCTION OF CARBON-CARBON BOND VIA NUCLEOPHILIC AROMATIC-SUBSTITUTION, Polish Journal of Chemistry, 68(11), 1994, pp. 2353-2363
Alkylation and acylation of electron-deficient aromatic compounds by o
rganosilicon compounds and CH-acids under phase-transfer conditions ar
e investigated. In the case of di- and trinitrobenzenes the substituti
on is realized via a two-step process with the formation of anionic si
gma-complexes and their subsequent oxidation. Direct nucleophilic arom
atic sustitution was used in the case of perfluoroarenes and mononitro
arenes.
