Question
Chapter 22.5A, Problem 22.10P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The mechanisms for the reactions of bromine with cyclopentene and phenol are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
An enolate ion is a very powerful nucleophile. Cyclopentene and phenol are much weaker nucleophiles than an enolate ion. Bromine is a strong electrophile and it react with much weaker nucleophiles.

the leaving group of alkyl halide. Propose the mechanism and product(s) for the
following substitution reaction.
Explain why the C=C of an enol is more nucleophilic than the C=C of an alkene, despite the fact that the electronegative oxygen atom of the enol inductively withdraws electron density from the carbon–carbon double bond.
