Identify the likely electrophilic and nucleophilic sites in each of the following molecules:

a.

testosterone

b.

Methanphetamine

Short Answer

Expert verified

For amphetamine, one group that is easy to determine is the secondary amine which is very rich in electrons due to the presence of a lone pair. As such it will be nucleophilically represented as:

Step by step solution

Nucleophilic position in amphetamine

For amphetamine, one group that is easy to determine is the secondary amine which is very rich in electrons due to the presence of a lone pair. As such it will be nucleophilically represented as:

02

: Electrophilic position in amphetamine

To look in for the electrophilic position, there are no electron-poor positions and there are no leaving groups. Thus, the given molecule has no electrophilic positions.
