Computational analysis confirms that C1, C3, C2’, and C4’ are the most electrophilic sites of thalidomide (Figure 4). As expected, introducing a fluorine atom to C4 activates it toward SNAr

The preferred nucleophilic reaction at C1, C3, and C4 can be explained by the fact that the LUMO of 1 resides entirely on phthalimide. The low SNAr reaction rate may
