Untitled[edit]

The page notes the fact that methyl benzoate has a pleasant and potentially useful odor. Um... maybe it was our stuff in the lab, but I found the smell very unpleasant, and downright repugnant. Any other thoughts on that one?

I don't think it has much smell at all - but then I'm an organic chemist, who worked a lot with thiols, so I lost my sense of smell a long time ago.... Walkerma 05:30, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whether something is pleasant smelling is quite dependent on concentration. Low concentrations of methyl benzoate seem rather sweet smelling, though sniffing a bottle of pure compounds is likely to be stomach turning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.210.187.174 (talk) 22:31, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Who attacks?[edit]

Electrophiles are electron-deficient species. Essentially with a hole waiting to be filled by electrons. The benzene ring (the nucleophile) pushes its electrons to fill that hole. It's not really a matter of which is more mobile. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.210.187.174 (talk) 22:29, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
