In the previous post I followed up on an article published on the theme “Physical Organic Chemistry: Never Out of Style“. Paul Rablen presented the case that the amount of o (ortho) product in electrophilic substitution of a phenyl ring bearing an EWG (electron withdrawing group) is often large enough to merit changing the long […]
