Interpretation:
Nucleophilic centers in the given compound have to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Nucleophile is the one which are capable of donating a pair of electrons. The one which is capable of accepting a pair of electrons are known as electrophiles. The ions which possess a negative charge (lone pair of electrons) over it can act as a good nucleophile. Some of them are,
The compounds that contain lone pair of electrons also can act as nucleophile. Even though there is absence of negative charge, the presence of lone pair of electrons can make them to act as a good nucleophile. Some of the compounds are,
The compounds that contain unsaturated bonds also can act as nucleophile. This is because the unsaturated bonds are the regions where there is high electron density in space. Some of the compounds are,
