Aromatic substitution reactions of selected ionized benzenes derivatives (chlorobenzene, nitrobenzene, dimethylphtalates) and phenoxy cation using neutral methyl isocyanide as a nucleophile are shown to efficiently occur in the gas phase. Nitrilium ions are produced in high abundance during these processes.
