2-step Acyl Substitution:
1. Addition to C=O (to create a tetrahedral C)
2. Elimination of the best L to reform the C=O
(gem diol-like intermediate; unstable w/rto reformation of the carbonyl group & displacement of the best leaving group)

Explanation of Carbonyl Stretching FrequencyExplanation of Carbonyl Stretching Frequency
R C
O
Cl
The polarity of the carbon-chlorine bond raises the energy of the dipolar resonance form, which results in it contributing LESS to the resonance hybrid than the double bonded form. The CO stretching frequency is greater the more the double bonded formcontributes to the resonance hybrid. Acid chlorides have HIGHC=O stretching frequencies.

Amide resonance DECREASES the double bond character of the CO bond by stabilizingthe dipolar resonance form. This results in DECREASING its stretching frequency.
