Abstract

Sir: In the recent decade it has been demonstrated in several instances that plain aryl halides, without elec- tron-attracting activating substituents, often react very satisfactorily with nucleophiles providing that reaction is appropriately provoked. Of major interest among such processes are reactions that occur by the radical chain SRNl mechanism.2 The propagation cycle for this mechanism is shown in Scheme I. Scheme I ... Although this mechanism ...
