KnowraElectrophileLinked fromLinked fromThe 28 pages that link to Electrophile, each with the reason it gives.All 28Broader topic 1Related 17Narrower topic 9Compared with 1Nucleophilic additionNarrower topic: The polarized multiple bond contains the electron-poor site attacked in the addition.Electrophilic additionNarrower topic: It initiates addition by accepting electron density from the multiple bond.Friedel–Crafts reactionNarrower topic: The key reagent-derived species attacks the aromatic ring in each Friedel–Crafts reaction.NitrationNarrower topic: The nitronium ion acts as the electrophile in common aromatic nitrations.AlkylationNarrower topic: Alkyl donors commonly act as electrophiles at the carbon being transferred.Friedel–Crafts acylationNarrower topic: The reaction’s central mechanistic idea is an electrophile attacking an aromatic ring.Acyl groupNarrower topic: The acyl carbon behaves as an electrophilic site because the carbonyl polarizes its bond.Electrophilic substitutionNarrower topic: Its attack on the aromatic ring initiates the substitution pathway.George Andrew OlahNarrower topic: Carbocations are powerful electrophiles, linking Olah’s subject to a broad reaction principle.
