What is a nucleophile?
Think about what it means to 'nucleate' or 'nurture' other molecules.
Name two mechanisms of nucleophilic substitution.
Remember they differ in steps: one is a 'one-step' process!
What does the 'S' in SN2 stand for?
Think about how the reaction occurs in one step.
True or False: SN1 reactions typically produce a single product.
Consider the nature of the intermediates in SN1.
Design a nucleophilic substitution reaction using a specific haloalkane and a nucleophile to yield a desired alcohol. Describe the reaction mechanism.
Consider what happens to bonds during the nucleophilic attack.
Propose a synthesis route using the Wurtz reaction to produce a specific hydrocarbon and explain the process.
Think about how new carbon-carbon bonds are formed in this reaction.
