Question
Chapter 13.21, Problem 30P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The chemical equations that not only relate the mechanism but also outline the structure of the intermediate that forms in the rate determining step of the addition-elimination reaction of hexafluoro benzene and sodium methoxide are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Nucleophilic
The aromatic ring is itself act as a nucleophile, hence the ring undergoes this substitution only in the presence of a strong electron withdrawing so that it stabilized the negative charge on the ring.
