The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

SNAr displacement reactions of 6-cyclohexylmethoxy-2-fluoropurine, 6-amino-2-butylsulfonyl-4-cyclohexylmethoxypyrimidine and 2-amino-6-chloropurine with substituted anilines (e.g. the weakly nucleophilic 4-aminobenzenesulfonamide) are dramatically accelerated in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid and occur especially efficiently in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol solvent.
