b)CH3CH2CH2CH2CN

none
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm really not sure what's being asked.
I'm going to assume that I need to pick a leaving group and substitute it with some kind of nucleophile...
So...for part a I chose O for the leaving group and part b I chose CN as the leaving group.
However, I have no clue where to go from there...what am I trying to create?
Thanks for any help!
