Is it possible for an alkyl halide to undergo sn1 and also sn2 reactions
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/16
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.
