Nucleophilic reactivities of 1-and 2-phenethyl chlorides have been investigated MO-theoretically using the EHT method. It has been shown that results of population analysis are consistent with the experimental order of relative nucleophilic reactivities and furthermore the reversal of the reactivity order for the less reactive nucleophile, $I^-$, could also be explained satisfactorily.
