Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.

Given a compound with CBr as leaving group and oh anion as nucleaophile... the other compound with CBR as leaving group and H2O as nucleophile, which one will react faster?

Accepted Answer

The reaction with OH- as the nucleophile will proceed faster. OH- is a stronger nucleophile than H2O due to its negative charge, making it more reactive. This results in a faster SN2 reaction with the CBr leaving group.
