Rethinking Organic Chemistry: Are Alkyl Groups Electron Donors or Withdrawers?
ALKYL GROUPS in organic chemistry For decades, organic chemistry students have learned that alkyl groups are inductively electron-releasing compared to hydrogen. This long-held view, deeply rooted in textbooks and teachings, faces a compelling challenge. A recent study published in Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry overturns this notion, presenting evidence that alkyl groups are, in fact, inductively…
