Bridgehead carbons generally have difficulties undergoing SN2 reactions because a bridgehead alkyl halide will be tertiary: bridgehead carbons are bonded to each of the two rings as well as the bridge between the two rings. ... As a result, tertiary alkyl halides will generally undergo elimination reactions.
