Part A In a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction, will an acetate group (Y) or a methoxy group (Z) leave from the tetrahedral intermediate? Will a chloro group (Y) or a hydroxyl group (Z) leave from the tetrahedral intermediate formed in a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction? the bond reforms and a group is eliminated R a tetrahedral intermediate the nucleophile adds to the carbonyl carbon Hints O Z leaves, Z leaves O Y leaves, Z leaves O Z O Y leaves; Y leaves leaves, Y leaves Submit My Answers Give Up
