Question

For each of the reactions shown below use the atom numbers to answer questions about the reactants. To indicate an acidic proton, use the number of the atom the H is attached to. (a) Which atoms are nucleophilic centers (i.e., can react with electrophiles)? (b) Which atoms are electrophilic centers (i.e., can react with nucleophiles)? (c) Which atoms are basic centers (i.e., can react with acids)? (d)Which protons are acidic (i.e.: can react with bases)? (e) Which atoms are latent nucleophilic centers (i.e., become nucleophilic as a result of a chemical transformation)? (f) Which atoms are latent electrophilic centers (i.e., become electrophilic as a result of a chemical transformation)?

Explanation / Answer

14 are Nucephilic centers

2,7 are electrophilic centers

1,8,14 are acid centers

3,6 protons are acidic

3,6 are latent Nucephilic centers
