Abstract
The effect of distant polar substituents on the reaction mechanism of some chemical reactions is considered. It has been shown that the traditional approach, based on transferring the substituent action to the reaction centre along the chain of bonds connecting them and leading to a significant change in electronic density at the reaction centre, is wrong. The role of a polar substituent consists of changing, sometimes dramatically, the electrostatic potential character around the molecule, particularly in the space near the reaction centre.
