What will form when 2-bromobutane + OH- reacts
Accepted Answer
The reaction of 2-bromobutane with hydroxide ion (OH-) will undergo a SN2 reaction to form 2-butanol and bromide ion (Br-) as a byproduct.
The hydroxide ion acts as a nucleophile, attacking the carbon atom bonded to the bromine. This results in the displacement of the bromide ion and the formation of 2-butanol.
