Question

By following the curved red arrows, draw the product(s) of each of the following reaction steps. Also, indicate which species is the electrophile and which is the nucleophile.

Short answer

We have to draw the structures:

a)

Carbon is the electrophile and nitrogen is the nucleophile.

b)

Carbon is the electrophile and oxygen is the nucleophile.

c)

Hydrogen is the electrophile and the double bond is the nucleophile.

Step-by-step solution

What is electrophile and nucleophile

Nucleophile= The nucleus-loving group is called the nucleophile. this group has lone pair or negative charge which take positive charge from other compounds and react with that compound to form new products and become stable.

Electrophile= The electron loving group is called the electroophile. this group has positive charge which take negative charge from other compounds and react with that compound to form new products and become stable.

Step 2:Final answer

a) Here carbon take nitrogen lone pair so it is electrophile and nitrogen take carbon proton so it is electrophile.

b) Here carbon take oxygen negative charge so it is electrophile and oxygen take carbon proton so it is electrophile.

c) Here Chlorine take electron from hydrogen so it has less no of electrons then it take electrons from double bond so it is electrophile and double bond is the nucleophile.
