In semicarbazide which atom acts as the nucleophile |
|
Answer» Semicarbazide undergoes resonance involving only one of the two - NH2 groups, which is attached DIRECTLY to the carbonyl-carbon atom. THEREFORE, the electron density on - NH2 GROUP involved in the resonance also decreases. As a result, it cannot act as a NUCLEOPHILE. |
