Fluoride ion is usually a poor leaving group because it is not very polarizable. Fluorideserves as the leaving group in the Sanger reagent (2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene), used inthe determination of peptide structures (Chapter 24). Explain why fluoride works as aleaving group in this nucleophilic aromatic substitution, even though it is a poor leavinggroup in the SN1 and SN2 mechanisms.
