Synthetic Equivalent and Synthon:
- A reagent carrying out the function of a synthon, which cannot itself be used, often because it is too unstable.
- A reagent or generalized fragment, usually an ion produced by dissociation of a synthetic equivalent.
Explanation:
- t-butyl isocyanide is a type of alkyl isocyanide.
- Isocyanides can act as a nucleophile as well as electrophile through the same C atom.
- The adduct forms from the alkyl isocyanide at the alpha-C atom concludes the synthetic equivalent of the given synthon is t-butyl isocyanide.
Conclusion:
Hence, the synthetic equivalent of the given synthon is t-butyl isocyanide.
