(a)
Interpretation:
Nucleophiles and electrophiles should be identified.
Concept introduction:
Electrophile (negative-charge loving): A molecule or ion that accepts a pair of electrons to make a new covalent bond is called an electrophile.
Electrophiles are neutral or positively charged species, having vacant orbitals and attracted electron towards itself.
Nucleophiles (positive-charge loving): A nucleophile is a more reactant species that affords a pair of electrons to the electrophile or electrophilic center and forms a new covalent bond.
The carbon or other hetero atom in a molecule which is bearing negative charge or lone pair of electron is called as nucleophiles.

- What is the major organic product in the following reaction sequence? Type its systematic IUPAC name in the box below. Br 1) NaCN 2) H3O*, heat ?arrow_forwardWhich of the following chemical equations depicts an alkylation reaction? C6H6() + CH3Cl() → C6H5CH3() + HCl(g) 2 CH3OH() + 3 O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + 4 H2O() C6H12() → C6H10() + H2(g) CH2ClCH2Cl(g) + H2(g) → CH3CH3(g) + Cl2(g) CHClCHCl(g) → CH2ClCH2Cl(g)arrow_forwardWhat are some common strong nucleophiles in organic chemistry?arrow_forward
- In which structure is the bromine on an allylic carbon?arrow_forwardComplete the following table to show what functional groups are present in each of the reagents and products in the reaction shown in ? (The first reagent has been filled in for you) Reagent / Product Functional group octanoic acidarrow_forwardTrue or False Considering that two carbon chains have equal number of carbons, but one has Fluorine and the other has Iodine, the one with iodine will have a higher boiling point. Mild oxidation of alkenes results to similar product as that of nucleophilic addition of water to aldehydes.arrow_forward
- Zaitsev's rule is useful in selecting which carbon adjacent to a carbocation will form the double bond in the alkene product. True or Falsearrow_forwardWhich of the following is/are false concerning nucleophiles? donates an e- pair to an electrophile to form a chemical bond they are all molecules or ions with a free pair of electrons or at least one pi bond they are Lewis acids they are attracted to a full or partial positive chargearrow_forwardDraw the structural formula for each of the following reactionarrow_forward
- Please answer this Can you give examples to explain Addition reactions-general characteristics Benzene rings do not reactthi like alkenes Remember, the electrophile adds to the less substituted carbon, and the nucleophile to the more substituted carbon. Markovnikov’s Rule: The addition of a hydrogen halide to an alkene favors the product in which the proton adds to the alkene carbon that is initially bonded to the greater number of hydrogen atoms. Carbocation rearrangements- Methyl groups and hydride groups can migrate to make a more stable carbocation. A primary carbocation is less stable than a secondary carbocation, which is less stable than a tertiary carbocation. Addition of A Strong Bronsted Acid Hydrohalogenation HX addition to an alkene. Goes through a carbocation intermediate. The electrophile (H+) adds to the less substituted carbon, and the carbocation forms on the more substituted carbon. The nucleophile (X-) then adds to the more substituted carbocation.…arrow_forwardFrom this picture, what is the major organic product structure? and what's the reaction involved?arrow_forwardWrite out the two-step sequence that converts benzene to attached compound.arrow_forward
