Which of the following could act as a nucleophile? A) HCl B) CH3NH2 C) BF3 D) CH3Br
In the first step of a Wittig reaction, what will happen if you use chlorobenzene instead of benzyl chloride? Why a) the yield will increase, because chlorobenzene is a better nucleophile b) yield will be slightly decreased, because chlorobenzene is a poorer nucleophile c) no product will form, chlorobenzene cannot be converted to a phosphonium chloride salt d) no alkene product will form the phosphonium salt from chlorobenzene reacts with chloro benzene to form triphenyl magnesium chloride. e) no noticable change will be detected, benzyl chloride and chlorobenzene are essentially the same compounds

In electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions a Iodine substituent on the aromatic ring is: a) An activator and a m-director. b) A deactivator and an o,p-director. c) A deactivator and an o,p-director. d) A deactivator and a m-director e) Iodine cannot bond with benzene.
Fluorination of a benzene ring can be accomplished with Selectfluor, a reagent that contains a fluorine bonded to a positively charged nitrogen atom. Fluorination is a useful reaction because several common drugs, such as the cholesterol-lowering drug atorvastatin, contain a fluorine bonded to an aromatic ring. Assuming that fluorination is analogous to other examples of electrophilic aromatic substitution, draw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction.
Friedel-Crafts alkylations usually invariably result in a mixture of products, but Friedel acylations never do. Why? a) none of these b) alkylations require catalyst c) benzene with alkyl groups are more reactive than acylbenzenes d) the reagents used in alkylations are stronger
