An intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction promoted by strong base is a commonly used reaction to form pharmaceutically-relevant heterocycles in the industry.  In this contribution, modeling of this ring-closure reaction was used to achieve extremely high product selectivity over impurity formation by a competitive side reaction between the desired product and the strong base, potassium tert-butoxide. The elementary steps of this competitive reaction were investigated using in situ NMR techniques for raw data collection to derive a mechanistic kinetic model. Demonstration of the model findings, specifically removal of the byproduct t-butanol (t-BuOH) from the solution, resulted in reduced impurity formation.
