Is this answer correct?

Do you consider sodium amide as a good nucleophile? Is chloride a good leaving group?

I really don’t know, but wouldn't sodium amide work here?
-
Can you name any good nucleophile?

Elimination can compete with substitution, and this is an issue for secondary and tertiary alkyl halides.

Yes, but Kin could come to this conlusion with a little help maybe?

Thank you !

Ohh I see
-
Sorry, I mean ethylsodium, not sodium amide!
-
I get the impression that you need to read a lot more chemistry before you can solve this kind of problem Kin17 I say this with full respect. One more question, is it possible to make ethylsodium from sodium amide and ethylene?
-
Rolnor,
Do you mean ethane or ethylene?
-
Sorry again! I mean ethane. I am celebrating Midsummer here in Sweden, so its a little tipsy from schnaps.
