Okay, so we're going to explain why the bromine ion reacts with a pertinent alcohol, but now with pertinent amine.
00:06
So we draw pertinent alcohol, which is water, and then we have a pertinent mean, which is ammonia.
00:16
So pertinent means gaining a proton and reacting with the bromine ion.
00:28
So water is a weaker base than ammonia.
00:33
Pkk is around negative 2, as opposed to pca of ammonia, which is around 11.
00:39
So it's a weaker base and therefore a better leaving group.
00:42
But it's also the fact that the conjugate base of ammonia is an amine, which is a stronger base than the alcohol.
00:53
So forming that is going to be much better than forming an alcohol because it's the stronger base...
