Substitution or in elimination
slideserve.com
- The reaction of an alkyl halide or tosylate with a nucleophile/base results either in substitution or in elimination. The resultant nucleophilic substitution and base-induced elimination reactions are two of the most widely occurring and versatile reaction types in organic chemistry, both in the laboratory and in biological pathways.

The E2 reaction (for elimination, bimolecular) occurs when an alkyl halide is treated with a strong base, such as hydroxide ion or alkoxide ion (RO–). It is the most commonly occurring pathway for elimination.

Nov 30, 2012 · Primary alkyl halides tend to undergo S N 2 reactions regardless of whether or not the nucleophile is strong or weak. E2 reactions generally require reasonably strong bases (as strong as hydroxide or alkoxides, or stronger).

Today we will visit the reactions of a much more synthetically versatile functional group: alkyl halides. Using our analogy to airports, if alkanes can be compared to Bozeman, Montana (not exactly a hub), alkyl halides are more like Denver or ORD. There are many connecting flights! Here are some of the reactions of alkyl halides we have covered so ...
The most useful application of SN1 reactions in synthesis is in“solvolysis” reactions, where the alkyl halide is dissolved in a nucleophilic solvent such as water or an alcohol. This works best for tertiary alkyl halides. The resulting products are either alcohols (in the case of water as solvent) orethers (when an alcohol is used as a solvent). If...
Elimination reactions arevery useful for producing alkenes from alkyl halides. Of the two pathways by which elimination can occur (E1 and E2) the E2 is greatly preferred from a synthetic standpointsince the products of the reaction are much more predictable, it works well with both secondary and tertiary alkyl halides, and is not accompanied by rea...

Jan 23, 2023 · There are two mechanistic models for how an alkyl halide can undergo nucleophilic substitution. In the first picture, the reaction takes place in a single step, and bond-forming and bond-breaking occur simultaneously.
The S N 1 mechanism involves a carbocation stage that readily reacts with a nucleophile. The alkyl halide is shown with three substituent groups (R) for the sake of example, but the carbon atom may (theoretically) have any amount of substitution.
In a substitution reaction, an alkyl halide reacts with a nucleophile to give a product in which the nucleophile replaces the halogen, which is expelled as a leaving group. There are two competing mechanisms for nucleophilic substitution: SN1 and SN2.
