Like the other halogens, chlorine undergoes electrophilic addition reactions. (9 words)

Thus, ketones are nucleophilic at oxygen and electrophilic at carbon. (10 words)

Longer example sentences

As a result, the lone pair does not contribute to the aromatic system but importantly influences the chemical properties of pyridine, as it easily supports bond formation via an electrophilic attack. (31 words)

If the addition of a functional group takes place at the less substituted carbon atom of the double bond, then the electrophilic substitution with acids is not possible. (28 words)

The characteristic reaction of fullerenes is electrophilic addition at 6,6-double bonds, which reduces angle strain by changing sp 2 -hybridized carbons into sp 3 -hybridized ones. (28 words)

Example sentences (16)

Electrophilic substitutions Many electrophilic substitutions on pyridine either do not proceed or proceed only partially; however, the heteroaromatic character can be activated by electron-donating functionalization.

An alternative to aromatic substitution is electrophilic aliphatic substitution.

As a result, the lone pair does not contribute to the aromatic system but importantly influences the chemical properties of pyridine, as it easily supports bond formation via an electrophilic attack.

Brückner, p. 172 Electrophilic addition of hydrogen bromide The counterpart of elimination is the addition where double or triple bonds are converted into single bonds.

For example, some alkenes are toxicated by human enzymes to produce an electrophilic epoxide.

However, electrophilic substitution is relatively facile at the 5-position, including nitration and halogenation.

If the addition of a functional group takes place at the less substituted carbon atom of the double bond, then the electrophilic substitution with acids is not possible.

Like the other halogens, chlorine undergoes electrophilic addition reactions.

Advertentie

Protonation and other electrophilic additions will occur at only one nitrogen due to further deactivation by the second nitrogen.

The carbonyl is weakly electrophilic but is attacked by strong nucleophiles (amines, alkoxides, hydride sources, organolithium compounds, etc.).

The characteristic reaction of fullerenes is electrophilic addition at 6,6-double bonds, which reduces angle strain by changing sp 2 -hybridized carbons into sp 3 -hybridized ones.

The reaction is first order and proceeds by electrophilic substitution at the C-OH centers of the cellulose.

Therefore, electrophilic aromatic substitution is more difficult while nucleophilic aromatic substitution is facilitated.

The two main types are electrophilic aromatic substitution when the active reagent is an electrophile and nucleophilic aromatic substitution when the reagent is a nucleophile.

They can be promoted, however, using experimental techniques, such as conducting electrophilic substitution on the pyridine N-oxide followed by deoxygenation of the nitrogen atom.

Thus, ketones are nucleophilic at oxygen and electrophilic at carbon.
