Organic Reagents: In the world of organic chemistry, a “reagent” refers to a chemical ingredient that is used to bring about a desired change in an organic substance. These reagents can be compounds or mixtures, typically made up of inorganic or small organic molecules. Some examples of reagents include the Collins reagent, Fenton’s reagent, and Grignard reagents. There are two main types of organic reagents: electrophiles and nucleophiles. An electrophile is an organic reagent that has a lower electron density. It readily accepts a pair of electrons in order to form a new covalent bond. On the other hand, a nucleophile is an organic reactant that has a higher electron density. It donates a pair of electrons to form a new covalent bond. These reagents play a crucial role in our everyday lives. They are essential in the production of food, medicines, paper, clothes, soap, perfumes, and many other things that are necessary for our well-being. The study of organic chemistry is of great importance to chemists and pharmacists as it enables them to synthesize medicines that alleviate human suffering."
