+solved @user1 @user2...
to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.Oxygen ka lone pair is bhery bhery delocalised
Also......
The attack on a Carbene is "two-way"
It's not a standard attack on an electrophile
3 membered ring banti hai which opens
Matlb
I'll draw wait
@Enamine
Hello hello
Sorry actually it kinda stopped making sense to me too ðŸ˜
But now I’m done

Carbenes have both an empty orbital and a lone pair of electrons
So the usual way they react with a pi bond is via sigma donation and pi acceptance (hi fi term it seems but it just means they accept one pair of electrons and donate the other so as a net they complete their octet)
I see
This was indeed crazy
So for this to happen as you can see
But 3 membered ring unstable ni hogi yaha
Isiliye to toot gayi
Mhm makes sense
Iske liye tumhe aisi site chahiye
Jo electron le bhi sake or de bhi sake
Acha samjha

These are the 3 ways you might see carbenes reacting
Ours is the second one
3rd one you won’t see imo
First one is still a possibility ki shayad dikh jaaye
We good? @Real potato
2nd wala me samjh gaya 1st wala me kya hoga yaha?
Carbene lone pair use karega Hydrogen lega
Oxygen apna lone pair Carbene ke empty orbital me daalega
Okay oky
Ill close this tonight i might need to see this again
Sure sure
