Provide the reagents necessary to carry out the following conversion.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The conversion likely involves a substitution reaction of a leaving group with a nucleophile. The combination of reagents in choice A would not be effective for this type of reaction. The use of NaOH in choice B as a base and H₂O as a solvent may be useful for deprotonation and solvation of the reactants, but a nucleophile would still need to be introduced. Choice C, HNO₃, is not a common reagent for this type of reaction. Choice D provides a silver-based oxidizing agent and a base, which could potentially facilitate the substitution reaction. However, the use of Ag⁺ as a metallic oxidizing agent may not be the most practical solution for this particular reaction. Thus, the most reasonable choice is E, which includes both A and D. This combination of reagents provides options for both nucleophilic substitution reaction and potential oxidation, giving the best chance for success in this transformation.
