Thermodynamic study of σH complexes in nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions: Relative stabilities of electrochemically generated radicals

The mechanism for the electrochemical oxidation of σH complexes, such as 1-hydro-1-alkoxy/sulfoxy or -fluoro-2,4-dinitro/2,4,6- trinitrocyclohexadienyl anions, has been widely studied by means of cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential electrolysis. Previous studies have shown that the electrochemical oxidation of σH complexes, formed by the addition of carbon or nitrogen nucleophiles followed by a two electron mechanism, corresponding to the formal elimination of the hydride anion (nucleophilic aromatic substitution of hydrogen mechanism, the NASH mechanism). For these σH complexes (Nu- = OH-, -OR, -SR, -F), the electrochemical reaction takes place by a one-electron mechanism and is followed by the radical elimination of the leaving group with the consequent recovery of the starting material. This mechanism is similar to that proposed for the electrochemical oxidation of σX complexes (nucleophilic aromatic substitution of a heteroatom, the NASX mechanism). The operating mechanism in each case, the NASH or NASX, can be rationalized in terms of thermodynamics. The standard potentials of the σ complex and/or the leaving group as well as the bond dissociation energies (BDEs) are determinant factors. This study has not led to a significant improvement in the electrochemical preparation of aromatic-substituted compounds, but does help to understand and predict the usefulness or uselessness of using the nucleophilic aromatic substitution route to obtain a desired product. Finally, the current approach extends the electrochemical methodology to different chemical fields, for example, to general nondestructive methods for the detection, identification, and quantification of either organic pollutants or explosives in different solvents.
