	Encyclopedia: Nucleophile
		A nucleophile participates in a chemical reaction by donating electrons to a species known as an electrophile in order to form a chemical bond.
		Nucleophiles may take part in nucleophilic substitution, whereby a nucleophile becomes attracted to a full or partial positive charge on an element and displaces the group it is bonded to.
		Nucleophilic is an adjective that describes the affinity of a nucleophile to the nuclei, while nucleophilicity or nucleophile strength refers to the nucleophilic character.

		In an alkyl halide, the halogen atom is bonded to an sp3 hybrid carbon atom.
		The carbon atom of iodomethane is electrophilic because it is bonded to an electronegative iodine atom.
		Nucleophilicity is defined by the rate of attack on an electrophilic carbon atom.

	Grignard Synthesis
		A carbon nucleophile would need to have an unshared pair or a bonding pair in which the polarity of the bond was such that the carbon was a strongly negative end of the dipole.
		Since we have learned that the carbonyl carbon of aldehydes reacts as an electrophile, we must conclude that the carbon which started out attached to the bromine is behaving as a nucleophile.
		In the bottom reaction, the depiction of this bond is taken to an ionic extreme in which the electron pair is shown as entirely belonging to the carbon, which emphasizes the carbon's nucleophilic character.

		An electon pair from the nucleophile forms a new bond to the carbonyl carbon, and this forces two electrons from the carbon-oxygen double bond to move onto oxygen.
		The carbonyl carbon rehybridizes from sp2 to sp3, and the intermediate that is formed has a tetrahedral geometry.
		With nucleophiles such as amines, though, the oxygen component can be completely expelled via loss of an equivalent of water to form a double bond between carbon and the nucleophile (an imine if the nucleophile was an amine).

		This is followed by attack of the nucleophilic alpha carbon of the enolate on the carbonyl carbon of a second molecule of the ester.
		That is, attack by nucleophilic carbon atom at the carbonyl carbon of an ester, which is followed by loss of the alcohol portion of the ester as a leaving group.
		The four carbon ester which is thus produced is attacked at its carbonyl carbon by another molecule of the carbon nucleophile and the cycle continues.

	Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions
		Nucleophilic substitution will be explored in much more detail in chapter 8.
		In the reactions of alcohols with HX, the reactivity trend of HI > HBr > HCl > HF is not due to the nucleophilicity of the halide ion but the acidity of HX which is involved in generating the leaving group prior to the rate determining step.

		A transition state is formed in which the bond between the nuclophile and carbon atom is being formed at the same time the bond between the carbon atom and the leaving group is being broken.
		Steric hindrance to backside attack of the nucleophile is most significant in tertiary halides and decreases as alkyl groups are replaced by hydrogen atoms.
		Backside displacement of the leaving group by the nucleophile accounts for the observation that reaction of a nucleophile at a chiral center leads to a product with the opposite arrangement of groups, a process called inversion of configuration.

		Nucleophilic Substitution The nucleophile Nuc:- displaces the leaving group X- from the carbon atom by using its lone pair to form a new bond to the carbon atom.
		The carbon atom is electrophilic since it is bound to a (more electronegative) halogen, which pulls electron density away from the carbon, thus polarizing the bond with carbon bearing partial positive charge and the halogen bearing partial negative charge.
		Carbon can only have a maximum of 8 valence electrons, so as the carbon-nucleophile bond is forming, then the carbon-leaving group bond must be breaking.

	Alkyl Halide Reactivity
		Because the functional carbon atom has been reduced, the polarity of the resulting functional group is inverted (an originally electrophilic carbon becomes nucleophilic).
		The nucleophilic carbon of these reagents also bonds readily with electrophiles such as iodine (second equation) and carbon dioxide (fifth equation).
		The last example, in which two halogens are bonded to the same carbon, referred to as geminal (twinned), gives an unusual reagent which may either react as a carbon nucleophile or, by elimination, as a carbene.

		This is an SN2 reaction, with the phosphorus atom acting as the nucleophile.
		In the second step, a strong base removes the proton on the carbon attached to P, to form a phosphorus ylide (an ylide is a molecule in which a charge separation between two adjacent atoms exists in the stable form.) The partially anionic carbon formed then adds to the carbonyl in a nucleophilic addition.

		The general mechanism of nucleophilic addition is the nucleophile forms a new bond to the carbonyl-group carbon, the carbon-oxygen double bond breaks, and a proton bonds to the oxygen.
		Imines are formed by the nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl group by the nucleophilic amine, followed by the loss of water from the amino alcohol addition product.
		One carbonyl component with an alpha-hydrogen atom on the alpha-carbon, the carbon bonded to the carbonyl carbon, is converted by base into its enolate ion.

		A third resonance contributor, which has the negative charge on the central carbon atom, has been omitted from this drawing, but is an important factor in alkylation reactions of beta-dicarbonyl compounds.
		From this formula it should be clear that nucleophiles may bond either at the carbonyl carbon, as for any aldehyde, ketone or carboxylic acid derivative, or at the beta-carbon.
		Although nucleophilic addition reactions to alkenes are usually slow, conjugation with a carbonyl or nitrile function vinylagously activates the beta-carbon, resulting in rapid addition.

		The two methyl groups on the electrophilic carbon of 2-chloropropane (isopropyl chloride) sterically hinder the approach of a nucleophile to the electrophilic carbon (blue) from the side opposite the leaving chlorine (green).
		When the chlorine is on a tertiary carbon, the steric hindrance at the electrophilic carbon (blue) is so great that that the nucleophile cannot approach from the side opposite to the leaving chlorine (green).
		Even though the chlorine is on a primary carbon in neopentyl chloride, it is very difficult for a nucleophile to approach the electrophilic carbon (blue) from the side opposite the leaving chlorine (green) because of the large tert-butyl group that is bonded to the electrophilic carbon.

		Organic chemists are interested in generating nucleophilic carbon because the formation of carbon-carbon bonds lies at the heart of organic synthesis, and the vast majority of carbon-carbon bond forming reactions involve the coupling of a nucleophilic carbon with an electrophilic carbon.
		The term carbon acid refers to any species in which a hydrogen atom may be transferred to a base as shown in Figure 1.
		This allows for maximum overlap between the orbitals on the carbon and those of the adjacent pi bond; electron density is transferred from the carbon to the oxygen, thus stabilizing the anion.

	Palladium-catalyzed coupling of aryl halides, non-conjugated dienes and carbon nucleophiles - Patent 5164518
		The present invention provides a method for the alpha,omega-arylation/alkylation of a non-conjugated diene in one step by reacting the diene with an aryl iodide or an aryl bromide and a carbon nucleophile in the presence of an amount of a Pd(O) complex effective to catalyze the reaction.
		In such reactions,.pi.-allylmetal complexes frequently play an important role because of their high reactivities toward various nucleophiles, which result in transfer of the allyl groups from the metal to the nucleophiles.
		The compounds of formula I are apparently formed by arylpalladium generation and addition to the less substituted end of the diene, palladium migration down the carbon chain to form a.pi.-allylpalladium intermediate, and carbanion displacement of the palladium moiety.

	Widenhoefer Lab - Research
		Our approach to the transition metal-catalyzed addition of a stabilized carbon nucleophile to an unactivated olefin employed activated methylene compounds, as opposed to stabilized carbanions, as the carbon nucleophile and simple Pd(II) complexes as the catalysts.
		This approach was based on the expectation that the enol tautomer of an activated methylene compound would be sufficiently nucleophilic to attack an olefin in the presence of Pd(II) and yet avoid the compatibility issues associated with stabilized carbanions.
		For example, treatment of alkenyl indole of 8 with a catalytic 1:1 mixture of the sterically bulky platinum BIPHEP complex (R)-9 and AgOTf at 60 °C for 24 h led to the isolation of tetrahydrocarbazole 10 in 93% yield with 90% ee (eq 5).

		The nucleophile replaces the halogen, an electrophile, which becomes a leaving group.
		First, the electrons in the nucleophile attack the central carbon atom from the side opposite the leaving group (in this case, a halogen).
		The electrons forming the bond between the central carbon atom and the halogen move to the halogen, causing the halogen to leave the molecule.

	Enolates and the Aldol Reactions
		One way to describe what we have just done is to say that we have worked out a way to make the alpha-carbon of a carbonyl compound into a carbon nucleophile.
		Earlier we found that the carbon nucleophile of a Grignard reagent was very important as a synthetic tool.
		Since that carbon already lost one hydrogen in forming the enolate intermediate essential to the aldol addition, it must have had two hydrogens in the original aldehyde.
