Addition Reactions of Benzyne
Summary
|
|
Step 1:
The N in amide functions as the nucleophile and attacks the reactive triple bond C in benzyne creating the new C-N bond and an intermediate carbanion. |
|
Step 2:
An acid/base reaction. Rapid protonation of the reactive carbanion from the ammonia forms the aniline and anotheer molecule of the amide ion. |
