a)
Interpretation:
Whether CH3Cl is likely to behave as a nucleophile or electrophile or both to be stated.
Concept introduction:
A nucleophile (either negatively charged or a neutral molecule containing an atom with at least one lone pair of electrons) has an electron rich-site. An electrophile (either positively charged or a neutral molecule containing an electron deficient atom) has an electron poor-site.
To state:
Whether CH3Cl will behave as nucleophile or electrophile or both.
b)
Interpretation:

- Are indicated atoms nucleophilic, electrophilic or neither? Explain.arrow_forwardWhich of the following species are likely to be nucleophiles and which electrophiles? Which might be both? (a) CH3CI (b) CH3S (c) CH3 (d) N. CH3CHarrow_forward3. Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (NAS) reactions have the opposite trend in terms of reaction rate when compared with SN2 reaction rates. This is to say that aromatic fluorides undergo substitution the fastest under NAS conditions but the slowest under SN2 conditions. Using your knowledge of the mechanisms of these reactions, explain why this is the case. (Hint: It is important to consider the rate-determining step of each mechanism). NuO Nu Rate of reaction follows the following trend: F> CI > Br>1 NuO Nu Rate of reaction follows the following trend: I> Br > CI >Farrow_forward
- see the attached question and out of these 3 comounds, which one is the best dienophile ?arrow_forwardWhat carbon radical is formed by homolysis of the C–Ha bond inpropylbenzene? Draw all reasonable resonance structures for thisradical.arrow_forwardFor the given molecule, highlight any nucleophilic sites in red and any electrophilic sites in blue. O: 439 0-Harrow_forward
- Which of the following alkynes has an acidic hydrogen?arrow_forwardPlease draw out whyarrow_forwardA benzene ring alters the reactivity of a neighboring group in the so-called “benzylic” position, similarly to how a double bond alters the reactivity of groups in the “allylic” position. Benzylic cations, anions, and radicals are all more stable than simple alkyl intermediates. a) Use resonance structures to show the delocalization of the positive charge, negative charge, and unpaired electron of the benzyl cation, anion, and radical.arrow_forward
