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.
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 ...
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now classifies eggs as a “healthy, nutrient-dense" food, according to a new proposed rule. Registered dietitians react to the change.
The polarization of a single σ covalent bond due to the electronegativity difference. Transfer of shared π-bond electron pairs to one atom under the influence of a strong external field. Permanent effect. Temporary effect. Always observed. Only observed in the presence of an electrophilic reagent. Induced charges are partial charges (δ + or ...
Real estate investing has historically seen high returns. Residential homes typically have lower returns than commercial properties, but they can still be valuable assets in many investment...
Since most of us get our puppies at about 8 to 10 weeks of age, the majority of us who have raised a puppy are familiar with teething problems. Puppies are very uncomfortable during these weeks ...
An electric effect influences the structure, reactivity, or properties of a molecule but is neither a traditional bond nor a steric effect. [1] In organic chemistry, the term stereoelectronic effect is also used to emphasize the relation between the electronic structure and the geometry (stereochemistry) of a molecule.
