Hey guys,
I'm having some trouble distinguishing good/poor bases and good/poor nucleophiles. Is it true that the relationship between bases and nucleophiles is inversely related (if something's a good base, then it's a bad nucleophile, and vice versa)? Also, what are some characteristics of nucleophiles and bases that can help me distinguish them from each other? Thanks !
