The Sn Mechanism in aromatic compounds. XXIII. Substituent groups attached by saturated sulphur
Keyword(s):
The activating power of p-SMe and p-SMe2+ in aromatic nucleophilic substitution has been compared with available data for ?NH2, -NMe3+, and OMe. The ?Sme2+; group is very powerfully activating and there is strong evidence for a -T effect of ?Sme2+ but not of -SMe, involving expansion of the valency shell beyond an octet. The -SMe group, like -Cl, -Br, and -I, is however also activating, whereas ?NH2, -OMe, and -F are more or less deactivating.
