General rulesGeneral rules
1) Activating (o,p) groups (+R, +I) win over
deactivating (m) groups (-R,-I)
2) Resonance groups (+R) win over inductive (+I) groups
3) 1,2,3-Trisubstituted products rarely form due to
steric crowding
4) With bulky directing groups, there will usually be more
p-substitution than o-substitution
5) The incoming group replaces a hydrogen, it will not
usually displace a substituent already in place (in the case of
electrophilic aromatic substitution)

Neither true SN1 or SN2 is energetically feasible in
aromatic Systems
1. pi electrons in conjugation
2. Back side attack (as in SN2) and inversion is precluded by the
geometry of the ring
1. SN1 leads to phenyl cation which is less stable than a primary carbocation
Two types of mechanisms that operate in Nucleophilic substitutions are,
1. Addition-Elimination
2. Elimination-Addition
Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution

Sanger’s Method of N-terminal Amino acid determination in proteins
One important application of nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction
�The 2,4-dinitrofluorobenxene (2,4-DNP)
is treated with the protein of interest
under mild alkaline conditions (doesn't
cause cleavage of peptide bonds)
�The DNP-protein adduct is then
subjected to acid hydrolysis which lead
to the cleavage of peptide bonds,
leaving the N-terminal residue in the
form of its DNP-derivative
�This derivative can be identified by
chromatographic methods
