The results indicated that site selectivities of and hetero-atoms are not controlled by electrostatic interactions but are determined mainly by charge trasfer stabilization between the HOMO of heteroaromatics and the LUMO of the electrophile. The reactivity order for positions was pyrrole > furan > thiophene, in agreement with the solution-phase as well as the gas-phase experimental results.Read More
