Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether methoxide ion is a better nucleophile in
Concept Introduction:
Aprotic solvent are polar solvent molecules which do not have hydrogen bonded to oxygen to nitrogen.
The stronger base is always a better nucleophile in an aprotic solvent. When the negatively charged species is placed in aprotic solvent, the solvent molecules arrange themselves with their partially positively charged hydrogens pointing towards the negatively charged species. The interaction between the ion and the dipole of the protic solvent is called an ion-dipole interaction

Which is the better nucleophile in a protic solvent, chloride ion or bromide ion? Try to explain this in terms of the nature of the chloride ion and the bromide ion.
Good nucleophiles that are weak bases favor substitution overelimination. Explain this ?
Explain why a methoxy group (CH3O) increases the rate of electrophilic aromatic substitution, but decreases the rate of
nucleophilic aromatic substitution.
