personality of each of them in terms of nucleophile vs. electrophile (some can be considered
acids/bases but we are not looking at that here). Note you may have to use your growing intuition to
figure out the personality of one of the molecules below but I believe in you! Rationalize it out
based on what we have called strong versus weak electrophiles in past mechanisms. Consider using
