Question

How can you differentiate elimination and nucleophilic substitution reaction of haloalkanes?

Answer 1

Nucleophilic substitution reactions are those reactions in which substitution is brought about by a nucleophile. These reaction are denoted by SN (S stands for substitution and N for nucleophile). One of the most common examples of this type of reaction is hydrolysis of alkyl halide by aqueous to give alcohols. Following is the general equation for the reaction

R-X + OH- → R-OH + X-

These reactions may be divided into two classes :

(1) SN2 reactions

(2) SN1 reactions
