QuestionOrganofluorine / nucleophilic vinylic substitution, SN2′
The major products [X] and [Y] formed in the following reactions are


- (a) [X] = F₃C(Ph)C=CF(OEt); [Y] = ClF₂C(Ph)C=CF(OEt)
- (b) [X] = F₂C=C(Ph)CF₂OEt; [Y] = ClF₂C(Ph)C=CF(OEt)
- (c) [X] = F₃C(Ph)C=CF(OEt); [Y] = F₂C=C(Ph)CF₂OEt
- (d) [X] = F₂C=C(Ph)CF₂OEt; [Y] = ClF₂C(Ph)C=C(F)OEt (OEt cis to Ph)
