The SN2 reaction can be evaluated by first observing the chemical mechanisms of the compounds involved. The agents took into account for the mechanism was the naphtholate anion and allyl bromide. First, a pair of lone pairs on the oxygen anion on the naphtholate compound attacks a single-bonded carbon on the allyl bromide compound. Afterwards, the bromide leaving group exits the allyl bromide compound, and creates its own anion cloud. Overall, this synthesizes naphthyl ether. The mechanism cannot be successfully accomplished without the input of the phase transfer catalyst. In the lab, the benzyl tri-n-butylammonium chloride acts as the phase transfer catalyst. As a phase transfer catalyst, it has the ability to transfer a reactant between
