The two reactants shown below are combined to bring about a nucleophilic substitution reaction. +ba CH3CH2-O-CH2CH3 g. I h. CH3l d. H20 f. HI j. none Which letter designates the electrophilic carbon at which substitution occurs? (If no reaction occurs enter the letter corresponding to "none.") Which letter corresponds to the leaving group? Which letter designates the nucleophile?
The letter corresponding to electrophilic carbon is: b
The letter corresponding to leaving group is: e
The letter corresponding to the nucleophile is: g
Explanation: Iodide ion is a nucleophile which attacks the carbon atom labelled 'b'and eliminates CH3CH2OH to produces Ch3CH2I as product. It is SN2 reaction.
