Chapter 16.6, Problem 14P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: Whether the given substituent exhibits an electron-withdrawing or an electron-donating inductive effect is to be identified.

Concept introduction: The atoms which are more electronegative than carbon pull charge density away from carbon and exhibit an electron-withdrawing inductive effect. Alkyl groups donate electron density, thus exhibit an electron donation inductive effect.

Draw the product formed when (CH3CH2)3N:, a Lewis base, reacts with each Lewis acid: (a) B(CH3)3; (b) (CH3)3C+; (c) AlCl3.
Using the data in Appendix C, determine which of the following bases is strong enough to deprotonate acetonitrile (CH3CN), so that equilibrium favors the products: (a) NaH; (b) Na2CO3; (c) NaOH; (d) NaNH2; (e) NaHCO3.
The presence of a pi bond also makes a compound a base. With this in mind, draw the conjugate acid of ethylene, CH2=CH2.
