2‐Halopyridines 1a‐d reacted with sodium thiophenoxide in DMF at 80° to afford the ipso ‐substitution products. The following relative order of reactivity was observed: 2‐iodopyridine ( 1a) ∼ 2‐bromopyridine ( 1b) ≫ 2‐chloropyridine ( 1c ) ∼ 2‐fluoropyridine ( 1d ). The reaction of 1b is inhibited by the electron scavenger azobenzene and by the radical scavenger benzoqoquinone. Furthermore, results of the reaction of 3‐bromopyridine ( 2b ) serve to rule out pyridyne mechanism. It is reasonable to suggest therefore that the reaction proceeds through the radical chain process containing one electron transfer, that is S RN 1.
