A reaction in which a negative ion (nucleophile) attacks on a partially positive carbon atom then reaction is known as nucleophilic reaction, it may be substitution reaction or addition reaction.

Methanol is a electrophilic or a nucleophilic?

It depends upon incoming reagent, if nucleophile attacks on methanol then it undergoes nucleophilic reaction and if electrophile attacks on methanol then it undergoes electrophilic reaction i.e Methanol reacts with both.... Student of A-level, XII, From Moro, SOMIA AKBAR MEMON

What is SNi reaction?

The question is probably intended to be about SN1 reaction. See the following from Wikipedia, accessed Feb. 25, 2013: "The SN1 reaction is a substitution reaction in organic chemistry. "SN" stands for nucleophilic substitution and the "1" represents the fact that the rate-determining step is unimolecular".

What is nucleophilic substitution reaction?

A nucleophile attacks an electrophilic site and replaces a leaving group. e.g. OH- attacks R-Br to give R-OH.


Why halobenzenes are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction?

i think the question is wrong.benzene doesn't respond nucleophilic substitution respond electrophilic substitution it is electrophilic then due to resonance there is a partial double bond between carbon of benzene and halogens.so halobenzenes are chemically inert towards electrophilic substitution.


What will iodine do when it is put in trichloromethane?

Why do we call a nucleophilic addition as 1 2 nucleophilic addition or 1 4 nucleophilic addition?

1,2-addition occurs when the carbonyl oxygen (1) is attached by the electrophile and the carbonyl carbon (2) attaches to the nucleophile for the 1,4 the 4 is the beta carbon
