Organic Chemistry
Determine whether the following species is a strong, intermediate, or weak nucleophile. Would this nucleophile add directly to a carbonyl or wait for the carbocation formation before adding to the carbonyl?
Determine whether the below-given species is a strong, intermediate, or weak nucleophile. Would this nucleophile add directly to a carbonyl or wait for the carbocation formation before adding to the carbonyl?
Nucleophilic addition can occur at carbon 2 or carbon 4 of the given α,β-unsaturated ketone. Explain why.
Can the incoming nucleophile add to the third carbon? Explain your answer.
