Chapter 2, Problem 40P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Atom in the bromoethane that is most is likely to react with oxygen of ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ should be predicted.

Concept introduction: The fundamental electrostatics suggests that electrons have more affinity for electron deficient sites in an organic compound. or positive charge. The curved arrow is appropriate mechanism to depict electron movement that occurs from electron rich species to electron deficient species.

The nucleophile is species with unshared lone pair or negative charge that makes it seek out positive center with a reaction. Likewise, electrophile seeks for electron rich center as it is positively charged center of substrate.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Atom in propanal that is most is likely to react with the nitrogen of ammonia should be predicted.
