Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the given conversion reaction is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Nucleophilic substitution reaction
A nucleophile is the Lewis base that donates the electron to form a covalent bond with the electrophile.
An electrophile is the Lewis acid that accepts the electron to form a bond with the nucleophile.
The good leaving groups are the weak base. They can be an anion or neutral molecule.
