Abstract
The reactions between 2-chloro-5-nitro pyrimidine with a serie of alpha-nucleophile derivatives were kinetically evaluated. The kinetic study was carried out in aqueous media and the data shown an unusual split on the Bronsted type-plot, opening a controversial discussion based on reactivities and possible reaction pathways. These split Bronsted type-plots are discussed over the hypothetical transition state (TS) structures associated to concerted or stepwise mechanisms with emphasis on hydrogen bond interactions between electrophile/nucleophile pair able to determine the reactivities and the plausible reaction routes.
