b.
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
Answer
No, the reaction occurs because the fluoride ion is a very poor leaving group
1Step1: S 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.
2Step 2: Reaction of cyclohexane fluoride
Fluoride ion is a poor leaving group because of its small size and the high electronegativity so hydroxide ion cannot substitute the fluoride ion that why the given reaction does not occur.
