The nucleophilicaromaticsubstitution for heteroatom through electrochemical oxidation of the intermediate sigma-complexes (Meisenheimercomplexes) in simple nitroaromatic compounds is reported for the first time (NASX process). The studies have been carried out with hydride, cyanide, fluoride, methoxy, and ethanethiolate anions and n-butylamine as a nucleophile, at the cyclic voltammetry (CV) and
The nucleophilic aromatic substitution of hydrogen through electrochemical oxidation of the intermediate sigma complexes (Meisenheimer complexes) in simple nitroaromatic compounds is reported for the first time. The studies have been carried out with hydride and cyanide anions as the nucleophiles using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and preparative electrolysis. The cyclic voltammetry experiments allow for
