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.
