Question

Question 27 X Your answer is incorrect. Try again. Identify the electrophilic site in the following molecule, CH3CH2NHCH2CH3. LOH Z CH2 CH3 There is no electrophilic site LINK TO TEXT

Answer 1

Electrophile: Electrophiles are electron deficient species and are attracted towards electrons. These are positively charged or neutral species. Nucleophiles: Nucleophiles are electron rich species and donates electrons. These are negatively charged or neutral species. The given compound is, H2H H2 HỊCC – –C–CH, In the given molecule, N-atom is electron rich species as it has lone pair of hence is a nucleophile. Since there is no electron deficient atom is present in the molecule and hence no electron deficient site is present. Therefore, the correct option is (E), that is, there is no electron deficient site.
