Abstract
The reactions of vinyl fluoride, chloride, bromide and iodide with CN- and OH- were studied. The trend of reactivity of vinyl halide with these two nucleophile is: fluoroethene<chloroethene ≈ bromoethene<iodoethene. The reaction of vinyl fluoride with CN- tends to be a multi-step process while the reactions of the other three vinyl halides with CN-, OH- are all single-step processes. The nucleophilicity of CN- is stronger than that of OH-.
