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

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

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

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

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

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...

Phosphorus trichloride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula PCl3. A colorless liquid when pure, it is an important industrial chemical, being...

atoms carries a partial positive charge. This makes the molecule an electrophile, and the carbon atom the electrophilic center; this atom is the primary...

Grignard reagents also react with many "carbonyl-like" compounds and other electrophiles: Grignard reagents serve as a base for non-protic substrates (this scheme...
