2. Shown below are two molecules that contain functional groups that you will study in
great detail in C342 (engne and enol, see below). Each of these molecules can act as
either a carbon nucleophile or a carbon electrophile.
Draw all of the significant resonance structures of each of these molecules, and provide
the resonance hybrid of each. Based on the partial charges on the resonance hybrid,
indicate whether you would expect each to be a carbon nucleophile or carbon
electrophile.
