“…Though, in most synthetic applications the common nucleophiles used include amines [2,[4][5][6][7][8], hydrazine [2,9], oximes [2,10], alkoxide ions [2,4,11], thiolate ions [2,4, [12][13][14], carbanions [14][15][16][17][18][19], (mainly aryl and alkyl lithium) as well as others [2, [20][21][22], the first kinetic investigation on nucleophilic substitution reaction was that of Werner et al who studied the reaction of 4-Cr-Z with several primary aliphatic amines (n-BuNH 2 , C 6 H 11 NH 2 , C 6 H 5 CH 2 NH 2 ) in n-decane, dioxane, methanol and dioxane-methanol (1:1) [8]. There have been few other kinetic studies in the early literature; these investigations focused mainly on reactions with amines [4, [23][24][25] and phosphines [4, 26,27] in weakly polar organic solvents.…”
