  1. yeah was an error with the butanol, was typing this at 12am. anyways thanks for the input.
  2. The reaction is 5-bromo-butanol with Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) would give you a cyclic ether. I understand the mechanism but I would like an explanation why the base (OH) picks up the H on the alcohol (OH) instead of a back side attack on the carbon with the bromine. Would appreciate the help, thanks!
