Interpretation:
The compound that is more likely to undergo
Concept Introduction:
The leaving group is the important one that also affects the mechanism by which the reaction proceeds. The
The stability of the carbocation formed is more sensitive which means that the stability of the leaving groups is much more important. Generally, the leaving groups are conjugate base of strong acids. If the base is not stabilized, then it is a bad leaving group. In few cases the bad leaving group (hydroxide) can be converted into good leaving group (protonated form) treating with strong acids.
