Popis: It is shown in the case of the Chichibabin reaction and exchange of chlorine in 2-chlorobenzimidazoles by a piperidine residue that N-alkyl and N-aralkyl groups are arranged in the following order with respect to their effect on the rate of the process (in the order of decreasing rates): CH3>C6H5CH2, C2H5>iso-C3H7, (C6H5)2CH>n-C9H19>tert-C4H9. The overall decrease in the rate on passing to compounds with branched N-substituents is low. It follows from this that steric hindrance to nucleophilic substitution in the 2 position is only of small significance.
