Kinetics of reactions of halide ions with 1-naphthyl methyl halide have been investigated in anhydrous acetone. Semi-quantitative analysis of the results shows that if the softness of the substrate increases remarkably, the nucleophilicity order of halide ions is I- > Br- > Cl- even in dipolar aprotic solvent. But for 1-naphthyl methyl bromide, though the reaction center which was made soft by symbiosis of bromine atom raises the reactivity of soft nucleophile, nucleophilicity order indicates that soft-soft interaction is interfered by perihydrogen.
