chemistry, an electrophile is a chemical species that forms bonds with nucleophiles by accepting an electron pair. Because electrophiles accept electrons...

positive or partially positive atom becomes an electrophile. The whole molecular entity of which the electrophile and the leaving group are part is usually...

Cross electrophile coupling is a type of cross-coupling reaction that occurs between two electrophiles. It is often catalyzed by transition metal catalyst(s)...

attached to an aromatic system (usually hydrogen) is replaced by an electrophile. Some of the most important electrophilic aromatic substitutions are...

relates to rates of certain chemical reactions. The terms nucleophile and electrophile were introduced by Christopher Kelk Ingold in 1933, replacing the terms...

Electrophilic substitution reactions are chemical reactions in which an electrophile displaces a functional group in a compound, which is typically, but not...

these reactions, the conjugate acid of the carbonyl group is a better electrophile than the neutral carbonyl group itself. Depending on the chemical species...

technologies, new methods to facilitate the study of unconventional electrophile-regulated stress signaling paradigms. REX technologies were one of the...

Thiazyl fluoride, NSF, is a colourless, pungent gas at room temperature and condenses to a pale yellow liquid at 0.4 °C. Along with thiazyl trifluoride...

chemical compound containing a carbonyl group (C=O) acts both as the electrophile and the nucleophile in an aldol condensation. It is also called a symmetrical...
