Question: Which of the following are electrophiles, and which are nucleophiles?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Nucleophiles-

Electrophile

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Electrophiles- 

An electrophile is a species that lacks electrons.

"Electrophile" literally translates to "electron loving" (phile is the Greek suffix for "loving"). An electrophile is someone who seeks out a pair of electrons. Electrophiles are easily identifiable because they have a positive charge, a partial positive charge, or an incomplete octet that can accept electrons.

is an electrophile because it has positive charge.

02

Definition of Nucleophiles-

A nucleophile is an electron-rich species.

A nucleophile is a non-hydrogen atom that bonds to an electron donor (having an electron pair available for bonding). A base is a hydrogen-bonding electron donor. The alterations that occur when bases or nucleophiles interact are extensive and diverse.

The following compounds are nucleophiles because they have a pair of electrons to share-

Draw curved arrows to show the flow of electrons responsible for the conversion of the reactants to products

By following the curved red arrows, draw the product(s) of each of the following reaction steps. Also, indicate which species is the electrophile and which is the nucleophile.

Draw the condensed structure for each of the following:

a. (Z)-1,3,5-tribromo-2-pentene

b. (Z)-3-methyl-2-heptene

c. (E)-1,2-dibromo-3-isopropyl-2-hexene

d. vinyl bromide

e. 1,2-dimethylcyclopentene

f. diallyl amine

Draw curved arrows to show the movement of the electrons in each step of the following reaction sequences. (Hint: You can tell how to draw the arrows for each step by looking at the products that are formed in that step as a result of the movement of electrons.)
