A broadly applicable quantitative relative reactivity model for nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S <sub>N</sub> Ar) using simple descriptors
Jingru Lu, Irina Paci, David C. Leitch
Abstract
Ar reaction rates, and is able to accurately predict site selectivity for multihalogenated substrates: 91% prediction accuracy across 82 individual examples. The excellent agreement between predicted and experimental outcomes makes this easy-to-implement reactivity model a potentially powerful tool for synthetic planning.
