Nucleophilic Replacement in Decafluoroanthracene
Burdon, James,Childs, Ann C.,Parsons, Ian W.,Tatlow, John Colin
, p. 534 - 535 (1982)
Decafluoroanthracene undergoes replacement of the 2-fluorine when treated with sodium methoxide or with dimethylamine, and this is not in accord with the amplified I?-repulsion theory which requires attack at the 9-position; there is now no theory which rationalizes the position of nucleophilic replacement in all polyfluoro-aromatic compounds.
