Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The reaction mechanism is to be classified that is used in carbohydrate synthesis since the 19th century.
Concept introduction:
Electrophile is a species with a positive charge. It attracts toward negative of partial negative charge. Example of an electrophile, cation such as
Nucleophile is a species with a negative charge. It attracts toward positive of partial positive charge. Example of a nucleophile, anion such as
The reaction in which an electron-rich nucleophile reacts with an electron-deficient electrophile, in order to replace a leaving group, is called the nucleophilic reaction.
A nucleophile contains a lone pair of electrons thatcan be easily shared during the nucleophilic reaction.
