6
Q
What mechanism do acyl chlorides in these reactions undergo?
A
Nucleophilic addition-elimination
7
Q
What are the two steps of an acyl chloride Nucleophilic addition-elimination reaction?
A
- The Nucleophilic adds onto the acyl chloride displacing a CL- ion.
- The CL- ion steals a hydrogen ion from the Nucleophilic and HCL is eliminated
