Whether the anion behaves as a base or a nucleophile depends on the whether the substrate contains an acidic proton or an easily approachable electron-poor carbon atom. The size of the anionic species is also a factor.

Interpretation:
The product of the reaction between phenol (
Concept introduction:
In organometallic compounds, the metal-carbon bond is ionic. In most cases, the metal ion behaves as a spectator ion, and therefore, the organic part of the compound can be treated as a base or as an anionic nucleophile.
