Why do carbocations undergo a variety of reactions? |
|
Answer» tions have only SIX electrons in their valence shell making them electron deficient. Thus, they are unstable electrophiles and will react very quickly with nucleophiles to FORM new bonds. Because of their reactivity with heteroatoms, carbocations are very USEFUL INTERMEDIATES in many common organic reactions. |
