Ionic liquids have been advanced as alternative solvents for organic reactions. In this paper, the principal findings of studies on nucleophilic substitutions in ionic liquids are reviewed. Thus our examination of halides (Cl-, Br- and I) in a range of ionic liquids is combined with our study of amine nucleophilicity into a single narrative. There have been a few other quantitative studies of nucleophilic substitutions in ionic liquids, and the results of these studies are also summarised in this work. These data are compared to related reactions in molecular solvents, and used to show where ionic liquids do (and do not) offer advantages over molecular solvents for nucleophilic substitutions.

Organic–inorganic hybrid nano-building blocks of aryl nitro-, aldehyde-, and bromo-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (T8, T10, and T12) were easily prepared through nucleophilic substitutions.

The mechanism of the consecutive halogenation of the tetrahydroborate anion [BH4]− by hydrogen halides (HX, X = F, Cl, Br) and hexahydro-closo-hexaborate dianion [B6H6]2− by HCl via electrophile-induced nucleophilic substitution (EINS) was established by ab initio DFT calculations [M06/6-311++G(d,p) and wB97XD/6-311++G(d,p)] in acetonitrile (MeCN), taking into account non-specific solvent effects (SMD model). Successive substitution of H− by X− resulted in increased electron deficiency of borohydrides and changes in the character of boron atoms from nucleophilic to highly electrophilic. This, in turn, increased the tendency of the B–H bond to transfer a proton rather than a hydride ion. Thus, the regularities established suggested that it should be possible to carry out halogenation more selectively with the targeted synthesis of halogen derivatives with a low degree of substitution, by stabilization of H2 complex, or by carrying out a nucleophilic substitution of B–H bonds activated by interaction with Lewis acids (BL3).

Abstract Nucleophilic and electrophilic substitutions are the most often applied reactions in organophosphorus chemistry. They are closely interrelated, because in a reacting pair always one reagent is an electrophile, and another nucleophile. The reactions of electrophilic and nucleophilic substitutions at the phosphorus center proceed via the formation of a pentacoordinated intermediate. The mechanism of nucleophilic substitution involves the exchange of ligands in the pentacoordinate phosphorane intermediate, leading to the more stable stereomer under the thermodynamic control. Electrophilic substitution proceeds with retention of absolute configuration, whereas nucleophilic substitution with inversion of configuration at the phosphorus center.
