Electrophile was formed in June of 2003 by Patrick Hogan and Sandor Gavin with one goal in mind: to take the electronic music they both loved out of the studio and on to the stage.
Electrophile combines elements of synthpop, EBM, retro, and industrial music.
Influenced by a wide variety of artists such as Assemblage 23, Iris, Information Society, and Depeche Mode, they have managed to create a very fluid electronic sound that is uniquely their own.

 Electrophile Summary
Among the reactions involving electrophiles are electrophilic addition to multiple bonds (alkenes and alkynes), reactions with alkanes (as rearrangements, free radical halogenation, and reactions with peracids), and electrophilic aromatic reactions (such as Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation).
Electrophilic addition to a multiple bond is one example of the use of the proton as an electrophile.
Most electrophiles are positively charged, have an atom which carries a partial positive charge, or have an atom which does not have an octet of electrons.

Electrophile means "electron loving" and therefore they accept electron density from nucleophiles in chemical reactions.
Because electrophiles seek electrons, they themselves are any species that have a positive charge or a partial positive charge.
The beauty of this generalization is that any bond formed in a reaction is the combination of an electrophile and a nucleophile.

The two pages can be juxtaposed in order to visualize the mechanisms of reactions of nucleophiles and electrophiles common to organic chemistry and to facilitate remembering and differentiating (a) the electrophiles and nucleophiles, (b) the active site(s) in each, and (c) the arrow(s) designating the flow of electrons in the reaction of the two.
Each electrophile in the "E or E+" column has a head half of an arrow leading from the side of the page and pointing to an atom which is the reactive site in the electrophile, usually the atom bearing the highest amount of positive charge.
Attack by the aromatic compound upon a general electrophile E+ is shown in the left one-third of Sheet B, with arrows leading from the aromatic compound to E+.

 Structure of Benzene
The reagent - catalyst - electrophile - product pattern works well when the aromatic compound is benzene itself, but things become more complicated when a substituted benzene (a molecule in which one of the hydrogens of benzene has been replaced by another atom or group) is used.
Electrophilic attack will be faster at positions such that the carbocations produced have positive charges on carbons which are bonded to electron donating groups like methy groups.
The underlying idea in the forgoing analysis of directive effects in electrophilic was understanding the relative rates of reaction when the competition was between different sites in the same molecule.

 Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution
In electrophilic aromatic substitution, the benzene ring acts as an electron donor (Lewis base or nucleophile) and reacts with an electron acceptor (Lewis acid or electrophile).
The result of electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions is that an aromatic hydrogen is replaced by some other atom or functional group.
Electrophilic substitutions are favored by electron-donating groups which stabilize the carbocation intermediate.

 electrophilic substitution - the sulphonation of benzene   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
This page gives you the facts and a simple, uncluttered mechanism for the electrophilic substitution reaction between benzene and sulphuric acid (or sulphur trioxide).
The sulphur trioxide electrophile arises in one of two ways depending on which sort of acid you are using.

 C 2131 Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution Reactions
The characteristic reactions of aromatic compounds are the electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions.
The major differences are that the electrophile involved must be a very strong electrophile (very electron deficient) and that the aromatic ring must be regenerated in the final step of the reaction.
energetically speaking, the transition state corresponds to the attack on the electrophile, there is a slight trough where the resonance stabilized carbocation intermediate resides, another transition state as the proton is abstracted and finally a plateau corresponding to the final product.

 ELECTROPHILIC SUBSTITUTION REACTIONS
It is these pi-electrons that are responsible for electrophilic substitution reactions of benzene.

This breaks the cyclic system of pi-electrons, because when arenium ion is formed, one carbon (the carbon that is attacked by electrophile) becomes sp3-hybridized.

As long as the carbocation is stable, and does not undergo rearrangements, this is actually a very good way to generate an electrophile for a Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction.
The t-butyl cation, which is used as the electrophile in this reaction, is a 3° carbocation which cannot rearrange, so it works quite well.

 Biology 403: Enzyme Mechanisms
We conventionally discuss the reaction as an attack by the nucleophile on the electrophile, and we conventionally draw this attack by showing the nucleophile donating its electron to the electrophile, as shown in schemes 6.1 and 6.2 in Horton.
Catalysis by a general base is illustrated in scheme 6.7, in which a general base (shown as :B in the scheme) donates an electron pair to extract a hydrogen from an electrophile, converting the base to its positively-charged conjugate acid and leaving a negative charge on the former electrophile.
Catalysis by a general base is shown in scheme 6.8 for cleavage of an amide (peptide) bond; here the intermediate is tetrahedral, and involves a carbon atom with two oxygens and a nitrogen bonded to it.

 Nucleophile vs Electrophile
A very basic definition would be species with a lot of electon density tend to be nucleophilic, species that are electron deficient tend to be electrophilic.
The oxygen, although it has a positive charge, is actually not a very good electrophile because there is still a lone pair of electron on the oxygen and all the bonds between oxygen and H (or C) are polarized towards oxygen (since it is very electronegative).
The hydrogens are more electrophilic because of the bond polarization (electrons are "closer" to oxygen than hydrogen) and the hydrogen is less encumbered by sterics.
