Nucleophilic substitution (nucleophilic and electrophilic that)? What electrophile and nucleophile can be used to form the phenyl ethyl ether?
The electrophile may be an alkyl halide or alcohol.
NaOPh sodium phenolate is the nucleophilic attack of choice for the substrate ethyl iodide CH3CH2I, This is not really known as an electrophile but you can freely use ethyl iodide electrophilic
