“…Several studies have been reported that aryl 1-(2,4-dinitronaphthyl) ether (1a-h) were considered as good substrates toward SNAr reactions. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] This is because 2,4-dinitro groups with respect to 1-chloro substituent in one of the two rings of naphthalene made it susceptible toward nucleophilic substitution, and stable activated complex(s) is formed. 34,35 In the present study, kinetic of the reaction of aryl 1-(2,4-dinitronaphthyl) ether (1a-h) (Ar = a, X = H; b, X = 4-OCH 3 ; c, X = 4-CH 3 ; d, X = 3-CH 3 ; e, X = 3-OCH 3; f, X = 4-Cl; g, X = 3-Cl; and h, X = 4-NO 2 ) with piperidine (2) in DMSO at 25 o C was examined Scheme 1.…”
