What is an Ambident Nucleophile?, , Certain nucleophiles may be, represented by two or more, resonance forms, in which an, unshared pair of electrons may, reside on different donor atoms., , , , °, Examples include:- ws ZONA, Cyanide a a, Thiocyanate O° CO, Amide anion, Enolate °, Phenoxide <_—_> SS, The nucleophile may potentially, attack using two or more different O° oO, modes leading to two or more, possible alternative products oe O°, , depending on the reaction, conditions., Reagents with the ability to do <_——> °, this are known as Ambident, nucleophiles.
