Inductive effect applications

 

Negative Inductive Effect (-I Effect):

   - When an *electron-withdrawing group (EWG)* is attached to a carbon chain, it pulls electron density away from the chain. This leads to a decrease in electron density along the chain.

   - Example: ( C - C ^δ+++ -- C ^δ++ -- C ^δ+-- A ^δ-) 

     - Here, A is an electron-withdrawing group, causing a partial positive charge buildup on the adjacent carbons as electron density is pulled towards A.

 *-I Effect Order:* 

*Halogens:* 

- F > Cl > Br > I

General Concepts of Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry:

“Branch of chemistry which deals with carbon compounds and its derivatives.”

Carbon (abundant ) → Tetravalent (4 bonds)

Organic Reactions:

Chemical reactions that are undergone by organic compounds .

Factors that determine the reactivity of organic reactions:

• Inductive effect
• Hyperconjugation
• Resonance (Mesomeric effect)
• Electromeric effect
