In negative electromeric effect, where are the π-electrons of the multiple bond transferred?
Options
- ATo the attacking reagent
- BTo an atom to which the reagent gets attached
- CTo an atom to which the reagent does not get attached
- DTo both atoms in the multiple bond
Correct answer
C. To an atom to which the reagent does not get attached
Step-by-step solution
In negative electromeric effect, the π-electrons of the multiple bond are transferred to that atom to which the attacking reagent does not get attached.
