For problem 8.17, all of the reactions will be SN2. For each reaction, identify and evaluate each nucleophile (strong? weak? Strong or weak as a base?) Also, evaluate each solvent as polar protic or polar aprotic. I recommend drawing the structure of each solvent. (d) Sodium cyanide in dimethyl sulfoxide (e) Sodium azide in aqueous ethanol (f) Sodium hydrogen sulfide in ethanol
