Vicarious nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in nitrophenyl toluenesulfonates

Toluenesulfonates of nitrophenols react with carbanions possessing leaving groups giving products of the vicarious nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen. The yields and orientation depend on the reaction conditions and the structure of the reagents. The products obtained can be easily hydrolyxed to the corresponding phenols or - in certain cases - to hydroxynitrobenzaldehydes.

Configurational stability of optically active dichloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide and its anionic species: Experimental and theoretical study

Racemization of optically active dichloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide took place at -78°C in the presence of potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (KHMDS), while the same racemization did not occur under reflux in toluene in the absence of KHMDS. Density functional theory calculations suggested that the pyramidal inversion at the sulfur center was unlikely to be involved in the racemization mechanism. An anionic species of the sulfoxide was found to be gradually converted into chlorobis(p-tolylsulfinyl)methane and dichlorocarbene. We propose a racemization mechanism mediated by achiral potassium p-toluenesulfenate and chloro(p-tolylsulfinyl)methylene. 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
