Chapter 7, Problem 7.10P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The better leaving group from the given pair is to be identified.

Concept introduction: The replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group in any chemical reaction is termed as substitution reaction. In nucleophilic substitution reaction, nucleophile takes the position of leaving group by attacking on the electron deficient carbon atom. The good leaving groups are weak base whose conjugate acids have low $p{K}_a$ value.
