Summary Introduction
Interpretation:
The leaving group is to be predicted when acetic acid reacts with a molecule coenzyme A that has a sulfhydryl group.
Concept introduction:
Nucleophilic acyl substitution is the reaction in which the reaction takes places between nucleophiles and acyl groups. In this reaction, the nucleophile is substituted to the reactant and the leaving group is substituted by the nucleophile.
