The feasibility of carrying out nucleophilic addition from electron-deficient heteroaromatics has been addressed through a detailed investigation of the interaction of a two 7-substituted-nitrobenzofurazan (R = OMe 2a; R = Cl 2b) with a series of substituted-nitroaryl anions (X = 4-NO 2 1a; X = 3-NO2 1b; X = 4-CN 1c; X = 4-Br 1d), all reactions first lead to the quantitative formation of the σ-adducts 3a-d and 4a-d arising from covalent addition of the nucleophile to the C-5 carbon. The rate and equilibrium constants for the formation of σ-adducts 3a-d and 4a-d (k5, K5) together with the rate constants for their decomposition (k-5) have been determined in methanol at 25C, allowing a determination of intrinsic rate constants, k0 = 0.03, the lower k0 value reflects the very strong salvation by methanol of the negative charge on the nitro group. The discovery of a linear correlation between the E and pKaMeOH parameters allows a calibration of the electrophilicity power of 2a and 2b, E = -11.67 and -10.29, respectively. Applying the general approach to nucleophilicity/electrophilicity recently developed by Mayr et al. through the relationship log k = s(E + N), a successful ranking of our nitroaryl anions 1a-d on the general nucleophilicity scale (N) has been carried out. The N values of 1a-d are found to cover a range from 15.78 to 16.69. The results are compared with previously reported data in water and DMSO.
