Question
The reactions shown below are unlikely to occur as written. Tell what is wrong with each, and predict the actual product.
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
No, the reactions occurs beause the fluoride ion is a very poor leaving group.
1S N 2 reaction
It is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which an old bond is broken and a new bond has formed. Both processes occur simultaneously. Hence, it’s a single-step reaction.
The two reacting species are involved in the rate-determining steps.
2Reaction of cyclohexane fluoride
Fluoride ion is a poor leaving group because its small size and the high electronegativity so hydroxide ion cannot substitute the fluoride ion that why the given reaction does not occur.
