Of all halogens we talked about in lecture, which halogen is considered the best leaving group? Explain why (give 2 reasons). (4pts) 5. Rank the following in decreasing nucleophile quality (1-strongest)? How many are considered strong nucleophiles? (3pts) F0 6. Do you think it is both a strong nucleophile and a strong base? Why or why not? (2pts) 7. Predict the major product for the following reaction. Also., circle the solvent. Is the solvent protic or (5pts) Why? aprotic? D. H
