When 1-bromobutane is reacted with sodium methoxide in methanol, a nucleophilic substitution reaction called SN2  Substitution Nucleophilic Bimolecular  will occur. The mechanism of this reaction is as follows:1. Sodium methoxide  CH3O-Na+  dissociates into a methoxide ion  CH3O-  and a sodium ion  Na+ . The methoxide ion acts as a strong nucleophile.2. The methoxide ion  CH3O-  attacks the electrophilic carbon atom  the one bonded to the bromine  in 1-bromobutane from the backside, opposite to the leaving group  Br- .3. As the methoxide ion forms a bond with the electrophilic carbon, the carbon-bromine bond starts to break, and the bromide ion  Br-  is released as a leaving group.4. The product of this reaction is 1-methoxybutane, and the reaction proceeds with inversion of configuration at the electrophilic carbon due to the backside attack of the nucleophile.The overall reaction can be written as:CH3CH2CH2CH2Br + CH3O-Na+  CH3CH2CH2CH2OCH3 + NaBr
