The concept of nucleophilicity is at the basis of most transformations in chemistry. Understanding and predicting the relative reactivity of different nucleophiles is therefore of paramount importance. Mayr's nucleophilicity scale likely represents the most complete collection of reactivity data, which currently includes over 1200 nucleophiles. Several attempts have been made to theoretically predict Mayr's nucleophilicity parameters <i>N</i> based on calculation of molecular properties, but a g ...[more]
