Synthetic Utilization of Polynitro Aromatic Compounds. 5. Multi-Centered Reactivity Pattern in Reactions of 4,6-Dinitro-1,2-benzisothiazoles and -isothiazol-3(2H)-ones with C-, N-, O-, S-, and F-Nucleophiles
“…In vicarious nucleophilic substitution, the nucleophile carries a leaving group X in the α position, so that HX can be eliminated upon nucleophilic attack to an electron-deficient arene, often an arene with a π-accepting functional group, such as nitro arenes (Scheme ). Elimination initially forms an exocyclic double bond, and subsequent tautomerization restores aromaticity with a formal replacement of the hydride by a nucleophile. The two-electron oxidation equivalent is inherent to the nucleophile–X bond that is no longer present in the product.…”
Late-stage functionalization
of C–H bonds (C–H LSF)
can provide a straightforward approach to the efficient synthesis
of functionalized complex molecules. However, C–H LSF is challenging
because the C–H bond must be functionalized in the presence
of various other functional groups. In this Perspective, we evaluate
aromatic C–H LSF on the basis of four criteriareactivity,
chemoselectivity, site-selectivity, and substrate scopeand
provide our own views on current challenges as well as promising strategies
and areas of growth going forward.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
