Question:
(A) In each of the following reactions, determine whether the electron pair donor is acting as a Brønsted–Lowry base or a nucleophile. Identify the acid, electrophile, and leaving group, as appropriate, and use arrows to indicate the movement of electrons.
(a) CH3I + NaOH → CH3OH + NaI
(b) NaOH + CH3CH2CH2CO2H → CH3CH2CH2CO2Na + H2O
(B) In each of the following reactions, determine whether the electron pair donor is acting as a Brønsted–Lowry base or a nucleophile. Identify the acid, electrophile, and leaving group, as appropriate, and use arrows to indicate the movement of electrons.
(a) NH2Na + CH3CH2OH → CH3CH2ONa + NH3
(b) (CH3)2CHCH2CH2Br + CH3SNa → (CH3)2CHCH2CH2SCH3 + NaBr
