NaOH, EtOH 2. n-BuBr A nucleophilic substitution reaction is a frequently used method to convert one functional group into another. A nucleophile is mixed with an electrophile and the nucleophile replaces the leaving group to produce a new compound. In this experiment, a weak nucleophile (2-naphthol) is converted into a strong nucleophile by deprotonation with sodium hydroxide. Then this strong nucleophile, now with a negative charge, reacts with alkyl halide to yield an ether, 2-butoxynaphthalene. 2-butoxynaphthalene is a flavoring agent that has strong fruit smell like raspberry and strawberry.arrow_forwardReaction of (CH3)3CH with Cl2 forms two products: (CH3)2CHCH2Cl (63%) and (CH3)3CCl (37%).
