Graphical Abstract
  • difficult to reduce. Conversely, compound 3 is very easy to reduce. This is shown by its reduction potentials of −0.06 and −0.45 V, respectively, and is attributed to the combined electron-withdrawing effect of the twelve nitrile substituents. While compound 3 is considerably more electron deficient than

The electron-withdrawing effect of the carbonyl moiety must increase the acidity of the C-3 proton to such an extent that the acidic media simply epimerizes at this center to

Graphical Abstract
  • regioselectivity is explained by the polar and electron-poor nature of the tosyloxy group, which leads to a strong electron-withdrawing effect and accelerates the insertion of zinc into the neighboring C–I bond. The presence of LiCl amplifies this effect through coordination to the tosyloxy group and to the ortho

Graphical Abstract
  • observed for a benzylic fencholate, when the benzylic positions were occupied by CF3-groups (92% versus 19% yield, Scheme 2) [26]. This increased reactivity is thought to arise from a favored formation of the carbanionic d1-synthon intermediate, due to the electron withdrawing effect of the CF3 groups. A
  • constant was detected for phosphonate 13. Thereby an additional electron withdrawing effect of the phenoxy group causes the further increase in the 1J(P–H) coupling constant. All synthesized phosphonates were identified by 31P NMR, especially characteristic are the phosphorus–hydrogen and phosphorus–fluoro

The rapid decrease in pKa in the series is likely due to inductive electron-withdrawing effect of the sulfonic acid group acting through fewer bonds as the carbon chain length is decreased. While an inductive effect is the most

The electron withdrawing effect of N-benzylpyridinium cation gives rise to short halogen bonds, where the R = 0.83 and R = 0.85 for I1···Cl1 and I15···Cl2, respectively (Table 4). The short halogen bond distances are consistent with the linearity of C–I1

This means the inductive electron-withdrawing effect compromises the attack of the electrophile, but is counterbalanced, to some extent, by the capacity of the ether oxygen to act through resonance as an electron donor. This antagonistic behavior is well known for
