The nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions of piperidine with N-methylpyridinium ions in methanol occur via rate determining preassociation of a second piperidine molecule with the addition intermediate followed by barrier-free deprotonation. Loss of leaving group is concurrent with deprotonation for Cl, Br, and I (E2), but subsequent to deprotonation, although rapid, for CN and F (E1cBIRR).

Nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions of 3-nitrophthalonitrile yield 3-hydroxyphthalonitrile and 3-neopentoxyphthalonitrile, the latter of which condensed to 1,8,15,22-tetraneopentoxyphthalocyanine as a mixture of isomers. Bisphthalonitriles such as 1,3-bis(2′,3′-dicyanophenoxy)-2,2-dipentylpropane, 1,3-bis(2′,3′-dicyanophenoxy)-2,2-diethylpropane, 1,3-bis(2′,3′-dicyanophenoxy)-2,2-dioctylpropane, and 1,3-bis(2′,3′-dicyanophenoxy)-2-methyl-2-trityloxymethylpropane all gave bis-crown-like 1,11,15,25-tetrasubstituted phthalocyanines as pure compounds when treated with lithium octoxide in 1-octanol at 196 °C. A host of nine other bisphthalonitriles including 1,5-bis(2′,3′-dicyanophenoxy)-3-oxapentane, 1,1-bis(2′,3′-dicyanophenoxymethyl)cyclohexane, 1,2-bis(2′,3′-dicyanophenoxymethyl)benzene, and 2,5-bis(2′,3′-dicyanophenoxymethyl)furan did not dimerize to mononuclear phthalocynaines. The "gem dimethyl" effect was suggested as a reason for the successful macrocyclizations. Key words: nucleophilic aromatic substitution, phthalonitriles, bisphthalonitriles, 1,11,15,25-tetrasubstituted phthalocyanines.

The synthesis of novel fluorescent N(9)-alkylated 2-amino-6-triazolylpurine and 7-deazapurine derivatives is described. A new C(2)-regioselectivity in the nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions of 9-alkylated-2,6-diazidopurines and 7-deazapurines with secondary amines has been disclosed. The obtained intermediates, 9-alkylated-2-amino-6-azido-(7-deaza)purines, were transformed into the title compounds by CuAAC reaction. The designed compounds belong to the push–pull systems and possess promising fluorescence properties with quantum yields in the range from 28% to 60% in acetonitrile solution. Due to electron-withdrawing properties of purine and 7-deazapurine heterocycles, which were additionally extended by triazole moieties, the compounds with electron-donating groups showed intramolecular charge transfer character (ICT/TICT) of the excited states which was proved by solvatochromic dynamics and supported by DFT calculations. In the 7-deazapurine series this led to increased fluorescence quantum yield (74%) in THF solution. The compounds exhibit low cytotoxicity and as such are useful for the cell labelling studies in the future.

The Truce–Smiles rearrangement is an X → C aryl migration reaction that is achieved by an intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitution pathway. The reaction exhibits a wide substrate scope with respect to a migrating aryl ring and leaving group, appearing in many different tandem reaction sequences, to achieve a wide variety of product outcomes. We present an extensive survey of reported examples of the Truce–Smiles rearrangement from the chemistry literature (1950s until present) organized by various substrate design variables or aspects of the reaction method. Present deficiencies in our understanding of the reaction are identified with recommendations for future research directions and useful developments in the application of the reaction are celebrated.
