- OH 1. NaOH, EtOH 2. n-BuBr A nucleophilic substitution reaction is a frequently used method to convert one functional group into another. A nucleophile is mixed with an electrophile and the nucleophile replaces the leaving group to produce a new compound. In this experiment, a weak nucleophile (2-naphthol) is converted into a strong nucleophile by deprotonation with sodium hydroxide. Then this strong nucleophile, now with a negative charge, reacts with alkyl halide to yield an ether, 2-butoxynaphthalene. 2-butoxynaphthalene is a flavoring agent that has strong fruit smell like raspberry and strawberry.arrow_forwardBased on the characteristics of the carbonyl group (C = O), what reactions or transformations take place with aldehydes and ketones? a. nucleophilic additions by oxygenb. electrophilic additions by carbon attackc. nucleophilic additions by carbon attackd. electrophilic substitutions through a carbocationand. acid-base because carbonyl can act as both an electrophile and a nucleophilearrow_forwardNitration of an aromatic ring involves an electrophilic substitution reaction.
