Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The given reaction is to be classified as either a proton transfer reaction or a reaction of electrophile and nucleophile. The movement of electrons is to be shown by curved arrows.
Concept introduction: Lewis acid accepts an electron pair. It acts as an electrophile Lewis base donates an electron pair. It acts as nucleophile. Conjugate base is formed by the loss of a proton from an acid while conjugate acid is formed by the gain of electron by a base.

- Draw the products of each Lewis acid–base reaction. Label the electrophile and nucleophile.arrow_forwardFor alkylhalides, elimination reaction is much favored than substitution reaction when A. Temperature is relatively high. B. Temperature is relatively low. C. Base is relatively weak D. Pressure is relatively high.arrow_forwardConsider the following bond: Is this bond a... unreactive nucleophile Lewis acid electrophilearrow_forward
- "Nucleophilic substitution reaction"" When does the bond between the leaving group and C break? Does it break at the same time that the new bond between the nucleophile and C forms? Or Does the bond to the leaving group break first.arrow_forwardDefine the following terms: a. reaction mechanism b. carbocation c. enediol d. general acid e. general basearrow_forwardDraw the products of each nucleophilic substitution reaction.arrow_forward
