An electron donating group (EDG) or electron releasing group (ERG, Z in structural formulas) is an atom or functional group that donates some of its electron density into a conjugated π system via resonance (mesomerism) or inductive effects (or induction)—called +M or +I effects, respectively—thus making the π system more nucleophilic.
An electron-withdrawing group (EWG) is a group or atom that has the ability to draw electron density toward itself and away from other adjacent atoms. [1] This electron density transfer is often achieved by resonance or inductive effects.
Delocalizing the radical ion stabilizes the transition state structure. As a result, the energy of activation decreases, enhancing the rate of the overall reaction. According to the captodative effect, the rate of a reaction is the greatest when both the EDG and EWG are able to delocalize the radical ion in the transition state structure. [7]
The EWG withdraws electron density by resonance and effectively stabilizes the negative charge that is generated. The corresponding plot will show a positive rho value. In the case of a nucleophilic acyl substitution the effect of the substituent, X, of the non-leaving group can in fact accelerate the rate of the nucleophilic addition reaction ...
You may be familiar with the Environmental Working Group (EWG) because they release a list of the most pesticide-filled produce every year called The Dirty Dozen. They also establish the produce ...
This reaction occurs in a similar way to the addition reaction but has an extra step in which the OSO 3 H group is replaced by an OH group, forming an alcohol: C 2 H 4 + H 2 O → C 2 H 5 OH. As can be seen, the H 2 SO 4 does take part in the overall reaction, however it remains unchanged so is classified as a catalyst. This is the reaction in ...
EDG may refer to: Science and medicine. Electron donating group, a category in chemistry; Electrodermograph, a measuring device for skin;
Gen Z has come up with yet another pop culture phrase to baffle anyone born before the year 2000. On the Feb. 2 edition of Hoda & Jenna, the hosting duo puzzled over a popular Gen Z slang term ...
