Nucleophilicity vs. basicity of the hydroxide ion under extractive phase transfer catalysis conditions

Extraction of hydroxide ion under phase transfer catalysis conditions (PTC) affords an extremely strong base and nucleophile. The competition between H/D exchange and nucleophilic aromatic substitution on 1,2,3,4-Tetrafluorobenzene shows that under extractive phase transfer catalysis conditions the hydroxide ion is more effective as a base than as a nucleophile.
