The methoxy group is generally considered as a poor leaving group for nucleophilic substitution reactions. This work verified the superior ability of the methoxy group in nucleophilic amination of arenes mediated by the sodium hydride and lithium iodide through experimental and computational approaches.

The n → π* transition of the carbonyl group has been studied in solvents of varying degree of polarity and hydrogen-bonding ability, in a number of aliphatic carbonyl derivatives. Evidence for hyperconjugation of the alkyl groups in the electronically excited states of molecules has been presented.

The N1/N3-alkylation patterns of 4-amino-, 4-methyl- and 4-nitro-benzimidazole anions, and their 2-methyl analogues, with a standard set of primary alkyl halides (in dimethylformamide, 30°) have been determined and compared. The observed regioselectivities are dominated by proximal effects-electrostatic field, non-bonded steric and in some cases specific association (hydrogen bonding)-the interplay of which is critically dependent on the (variable) geometries of the SN2 transition states involved, in particular on the N---C distance of the developing N-alkyl bonds. The presence of a symmetrically placed 2-methyl group produces an enhanced N1/N3 site selectivity, very sensitive to the loose-tight nature of the transition state. Halide leaving group effects on butylation regioselectivities of 2-unsubstituted, 2-ethoxy-, 2-methyl- and 2-chloro-4-methylbenzimidazole anions, whilst small, are consistent with a Bell-Evans-Polanyi analysis of SN2 transition state variations, with the earlier transition states of CH3(CH2)3I leading to reduced regioselectivities.

Certain ortho-substituted acetanilides exhibit proton magnetic resonance signals at unusually low field for the amido proton and the aromatic proton adjacent to the acetamido group. This effect, explicable in terms of intramolecular hydrogen-bonding, has been observed for nitro, carbonyl, sulfamoyl, and sulfonyl substituents. Solvent effects are discussed.
