What is a nucleophile? Provide some examples of nucleophiles that would work well in the SN2 reaction.
For each pair of compounds, say which compound is the best SN2 substrate
(d) 1-chloro-2,2-dimethylbutane or 2-chlorobutane
(e) 1-iodobutane or 2-iodopropane
Organometallic reagents and alkoxides are strong bases as well as being good nucleophiles. Given the pKa values below, which reagent is the stronger base, nBuLi (CH3CH2CH2CH2LI) or the tert-butoxide anion ((CH3)3CO‒)? Explain your choice clearly in terms of structure andbonding. (Comparing the pKa values is not an explanation.)
(CH3)3COH pka= 16.54CH3CH2CH2CH3 pka= 50
