Elektrofiillisissä
Elektrofiiliset, often shortened to electrophiles, are chemical species that are attracted to electron-rich centers. The term "elektrofiilinen" itself is derived from Greek, meaning "electron-loving." These species are typically electron-deficient, meaning they have a partial positive charge or a vacant orbital that can accept electrons. This characteristic makes them reactive towards nucleophiles, which are electron-rich species.
In chemical reactions, electrophiles act as electron acceptors. They play a crucial role in many organic and
