Packet 4: Tossup 15

A very reactive one of these substances made by mixing n-butyllithium and potassium tert-butoxide is named for Manfred Schlosser. (15[1]-5[1])In organic chemistry, (15[1])nucleophiles (-5[1])typically act as these substances. (15[1]-5[1])The “super” variety of these substances (15[1]-5[2])are more powerful than (-5[1])a proton (-5[1])sponge. (-5[1])Boron trifluoride (-5[1])is one (-5[1])of these substances according to a theory that defines them as (*) electron (10[1])pair donors, devised (-5[1])by Gilbert Lewis. Saponification (-5[1])is catalyzed by one of these substances such (-5[1])as lye. (10[1]0[1]-5[1])Svante (10[1])Arrhenius defined these substances as hydroxide donors. (10[1])For 10 points, name these substances that have a pH (-5[1])greater than (10[1])7. (10[2])■END■ (10[14])
