Greetings. Problem 6.21c and the answer in the Study Guide are correct as
written. On the other hand, 6.21d is written incorrectly in the main
text, as noted last night on this list. The alkyl halide reactant in
6.21d should be simply CH3Br (bromomethane).

And yes, please keep pointing out errata in both the main text and Study
Guide. I appreciate your sharp eyes.
