Expert verified

ANSWER

The answer is option (d).

Step by step solution

01

The leaving group in an organic molecule is the one that will break its bond with carbon easily and can have individual stable existence after that.

02

Explanation

Among the given substrates, the leaving group is as follows:

  • In compound a, it is -OH .
  • In compound b, it is Cl-.
  • In compound c, there is no leaving group.
  • In compound d, the leaving group is H2O .

Among all, the compound containing H2Ois highly stable. So, the answer is option (d).

A molecule that contains a good leaving group
