Chemists often use nucleophilic additions in organic synthesis to turn molecules with double bonds into more functionalised compounds. (newscientist.com)
Nucleophilic substitution reactions play an important role in the formation of organic compounds. (sciencedaily.com)
Because «like species repel,» electron - rich species should not react with other electron - rich species, so benzene should never undergo direct nucleophilic alkylation. (science.sciencemag.org)
