We will return often to nucleophilic substitution, in particular the SN2 reaction, in subsequent chapters. In each instance we will concentrate on the nucleophile, rather than the alkyl halide, as we have done in this chapter. By using different nucleophiles, nucleophilic substitution allows the synthesis of a wide variety of organic compounds with many different functional groups. With this in mind, draw the products of each two-step sequence. (Hint: Step [1] in each part involves an acid–base reaction that removes the most acidic hydrogen from the starting material.)
