O2NO2N X O2NO2N XX NO Substituent Effects on Rate X NO 2 + (from HONO 2 /H 2 SO 4 ) X Relative Rate (overall) H[1] Cl0.03 donation / withdrawal CH 3 25 OH1000 (or ) e-donation eases formation of cation intermediates NO 2 6 (CH 3 ) 3 N + 1 (or ) e-withdrawal retards formation of cation intermediates
Why is -NO 2 e-Withdrawing when -OH is e-Donating? -NO 2 6 e-withdrawal retards formation of cation intermediates -OH1000 e-donation eases N OO O H pCpC C=C p O 0 High HOMO; Good Overlap with Phenyl Low OMO; Good Overlap with Phenyl High HOMO; Low LUMO; Good Overlap with Phenyl OH is a Donor NO 2 is a Acceptor No Overlap with Phenyl NO 2 is allylic (willing but not able)
