Abstract

The reactions of 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine 1 and 2-chloro-5-nitropyridine 2 with arenethiolates 3a–i result in arylthio-dechlorination to give 2-arylthio-3-nitropyridines 4a–i and 2-arylthio-5-nitropyridines 5a–i. A 1H NMR study and AM1 calculations of 5a–i have shown that these compounds assume a skew conformation except the 2-(4-nitrophenylthio) derivative 5f which has a twist one. An addition–elimination mechanism is suggested based on second order kinetics and the dependence of rates on the nature of the nucleophile. It is found that 2 (para-like) reacts faster than 1 (ortho-like). Good correlations are obtained from plots of log k2 against Hammett σ constants, pKa and log K (thermodynamic affinity of arenethiolates towards carbon).
