non-aromatic electrophiles Flashcards
1
Q
what makes alkenes electrophilic
A
alkene group is bonded to electron withdrawing group, nucleophile attracted to electron deficient double bond forming anion which is stabilised by Z
2
Q
what is different about SOO groups on electrophilic alkenes
A
doesnt form resonance in anion so stabilised by inductive withdrawal down by an arrow pointed to S
3
Q
what is a problem with carbonyl group being the e withdrawing group on alkene electrophile
A
nu is also attracted to carbonyl carbon, both beta alkene carbo and carbonyl C partially +ve
