Electron-deficient nature of group-13 compounds

Group-13 elements form electron-deficient compounds. In this video, we will see why they do that and how we can use this inherent nature in some important organic reactions. Timestamps 00:35 - What happens to the group-13 element in the given organic reactions? 03:00 - Why are they electron-deficient? 04:47 - Application of group 13- lewis acid in organic reaction 1. 06:25 - Application of group 13- lewis acid in organic reaction 2. 0:7:15 - Why do we maintain anhydrous conditions in the organic reaction 2. 07:46 - The trend in the electron-deficient nature of group-13 compounds.
