If it's attached directly to a halogen, then the halogen would be the leaving group, no?

Meter:
I was thinking either of these two.

Babcock_Hall:
I would question whether or not the structure on the righthand side is a stable molecule.  I am not 100% certain.  There are also some questions in my mind about side reactions, but this particular exercise may not be concerned about such things.

No, it was one of those "synthesize A from B using any reagents and starting materials" type questions. I think the acyl halide would be more stable through resonance, no?

What functional group will give an alcohol directly after addition of a carbon nucleophile?
