Question:

Consider the reaction analyzed in Study Problem 3.2 (p. 91), reproduced below. Identify the nucleophilic center, the electrophilic center, and the leaving group in the forward direction. (Don’t hesitate to draw out the bonds between the sulfurs and each methyl group, if necessary.) + (CH3)3S: FH trimethylsulfonium hydroxide (CH3)2S: + HC-H dimethyl sulfide methanol
