Why do alkyl halides undergo the nucleophlic subtitution reaction?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
haloarenes are less reactive than haloalkanes because:
1. resonance effect more the resonatinsg structures,more the stability
2.difference in hybridisation of the C-X bond i.e.,in haloalkanes,the hybridisation is sp3 whereas in haloarenes it is sp2 hybridised.As sp2 is more electronegative therefore bond length is shorter and hence stronger.
these are the major reasons.

Is it possible for an alkyl halide to undergo sn1 and also sn2 reactions?
Yes an alkyl halide can undergo both Sn1 and Sn2 reactions - it just depends on what kind of alkyl halide it is. Methyl halides such as CH3Br/CH3Cl/CH3I, etc. are most suitable for Sn2 reactions because they are less sterically hindered by R-groups (they are not "bulky"). This allows for easy attack by the nucleophile. Primary alkyl halides (RCH2X) are also most suitable for Sn2 because of the same reason above Secondary alkyl halides can undergo both Sn1 and Sn2 reactions, this depends on other factors such as solvent and leaving group and nucleophile. If the solvent is polar aprotic, the reaction will go Sn2, if polar protic - Sn1. Tertiary alkyl halides (alkyl halides with 4 r-groups) do not go Sn2 because they are bulky and the R-groups stabilize the carbocation by hyperconjugation and inductive effect.

Why alkyl halides undergoSN reactions or elimination reactins in priority?
Alkyl halides undergo both nucleophilic substituions reactions and Elimination reractions depending upon the conditions...In the presence they undergo Elimination Reactions , while in the presence of nucleophile they undergo SN reactions...By: Farman ullah ,Azim kala, masha mansoor, lakki marwat, kpk,Pakistan+92321-9632344
