Borodin was considered a pioneer in which chemical technique?
Distillation
Nucleophilic Substitution
Crystallization
Electrolysis
Answer
Nucleophilic substitution, in organic chemistry, is the chemical process by which one nucleophilic chemical species (anion or molecule with an extra pair of electrons) replaces another nucleophilic species in a chemical reaction. Borodin was a pioneer in this field, where one attacking nucleophile displaces another leaving group. This reaction is a cornerstone in organic chemistry and finds extensive application in synthesizing various organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals and polymers.
