Chapter 6: Q57P (page 282)

Identify the electrophile and the nucleophile in each of the following reaction steps, and then draw curved arrows to illustrate the bond-making and bond-breaking processes.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Electreophile= The electron loving compound is called electrophile. It may have positive charge on it.

Nucleophile= The nucleus loving compound is called nucleophile. It may have negative charge on it.

Step by step solution

01

What is electrophile and nucleophile

Electreophile= The electron loving compound is called electrophile. It may have positive charge on it.

Nucleophile= The nucleus loving compound is called nucleophile. It may have negative charge on it.

02

Final answer

a) Here negative charge compound acts as nucleophile and positive charge compound acts as electrophile.

b) Here double bond acts as nucleophile and Br acts as electrophile.

c) Here double bond acts as nucleophile and H acts as electrophile.

Which compound is hydrated more rapidly?

When Br2adds to a cis alkene that has different substituents attached to each of the two sp2carbons, such as cis-2-heptene, identical amounts of the two threo enantiomers are obtained even though Br-is more likely to attack the less sterically hindered carbon of the bromonium ion. Explain why identical amounts of the two enantiomers are obtained.
