Abstract

(IO) Predicting the order of reactivity in various radlcai reactions of aryl ha-lides has been a rather fruitless task: PhCN> Phl> PhBr (for eaq)(ref 1); Arl< ArBr or ArCi (for KNH2," 3)(ref 6). We too find the practice speculative, and prefer to offer for our system only the observations concerning the CN group and the order of reactivity of the halldes at-40'as ArF>> Arl> ArBr> ArCi.-40'these materials were highly unstable, and below about-70'the reaction times ...
