Abstract

Abstract Reactions of 2, 4-dinitrophenyl acetate and 2, 4-dinitrofluorobenzene as model substrates with 12 nucleophiles have been studied in dimethyl sulfoxide. The rate constants obtained have been discussed with regard to the nucleophilic reactivity differences in dimethyl sulfoxide and protic solvents inclusive of the different manifestation of the charge of nucleophiles. The applicability of an earlier-suggested correlation equation to the data ...
