POUVOIR ELECTROPHILE [1 record]

Record 1 2003-11-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
DEF

The relative reactivity of an electrophilic reagent.

OBS

Qualitatively, the concept is related to Lewis acidity. However, whereas Lewis acidity is measured by relative equilibrium constants, electrophilicity is measured by relative rate constants for reactions of different electrophilic reagents towards a common substrate (usually involving attack at a carbon atom).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
DEF

Réactivité relative d'un réactif électrophile.

OBS

Qualitativement, ce concept est apparenté à celui d'acidité de Lewis. Cependant, alors que l'acidité de Lewis se mesure par des constantes relative d'équilibre, l'électrophilie s'exprime par des constantes relatives de vitesse obtenues à partir de réactions de divers électrophiles face à un même substrat (impliquant généralement une attaque sur un atome de carbone).

Spanish
