Abstract
A theoretical study of the reactivity and regioselectivity of some aromatic compounds in electrophilic aromatic substitution is carried out at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) computational level. The relative reactivity of these systems is rationalized by means of the global nucleophilicity index proposed by Domingo’s group. The positional selectivity, namely o, m or p, is predicted by means of the local nucleophilicity indices [Parr fonctions]. The present study shows that the experimental trends of the relative reactivities and regioselectivities of these reactions are correctly predicted using Parr fonctions.
