The nature of the reaction between α-alkyl-γ-(p-nitrophenyl)allyl chlorides (1)-(3), which have the general form p-O2NC6H4CH=CHCH(Cl)R, and a variety of nucleophiles depends on the alkyl group R and the nucleophile.The chloride (1) (R = Me) undergoes ionic (SN2 and subsequent Michael addition) processes with the salt (7) of 2-nitropropane to give products (15) and (16) whereas the chloride (2) (R = Pri) gives a mixture of products (17) and (18) which are shown to arise by a radical-chain nucleophilic substitution process, with allylic rearrangement-an SRN1' reaction- and ionic processes respectively.The chloride (3) (R = But) gives the SRN1' product (25) with the salt (7).Other nucleophiles with (2) and (3) appear to react by ionic (SN2 and SN2') and/or SRN1' processes; e.g. (3) gives an excellent yield of the malononitrile (32) by an SN2' process when treated with the sodium salt (9).
