Multiple Choice
Which of the following statements is true concerning the E2 reactions of alkyl fluorides?
A) Alkyl fluorides react more readily in E2 reactions than do alkyl iodides.
B) The transition state of this E2 reaction resembles a carbanion rather than an alkene.
C) The C-F bond is the weakest carbon-halogen bond so SN2 will always predominate over E2 in the reactions of alkyl fluorides.
D) Alkyl fluorides react to form the most stable carbocation intermediate.
E) Alkyl fluorides cannot adopt the proper stereochemical alignment for an E2 reaction to occur.
