Jencks and Carriulo discovered that lone pair donation bolsters this property in the alpha effect, and one scale used to measure the strength of these compounds sets the log of k equal to the quantity N plus E times a namesake slope parameter.
Jencks and Carriulo discovered that lone pair donation bolsters this property in the alpha effect, and one scale used to measure the strength of these compounds sets the log of k equal to the quantity N plus E times a namesake slope parameter. That equation, named for Mayr and Patz, succeeded the Ritchie and Swain-Scott equations. When a compound with this property attacks an arene with electron-withdrawing groups, a Meisenheimer complex is created, and solvolysis occurs when the solvent acts as one of these. More famously, one of these compounds triggers a Walden inversion when it attacks the backside of a carbon with a good leaving group. Functionally equivalent to Lewis acids due to their electron-donating nature, for 10 points, name these compounds that are part of namesake unimolecular and bimolecular substitutions, the opposite of electrophiles.
