ChemInform Abstract
1-Amino-2,4-dinitroanilines (I) prove to be active in vicarious nucleophilic substitution in spite of existing in anionic form under the basic reaction conditions. The regioselectivity of the substitution can be controlled by choice of the amino-substituent. Cyanonitroanilines (VI), although less electrophilic, show similar reactivity features in some cases.
