Alkyl halides on alkaline hydrolysis get converted into alcohols. This takes place by a nucleophilic substitution reaction where the −X atom is substituted by a nucleophile i.e −OH group. The primary alkyl halides undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction by SN

mechanism, while tertiary alkyl halides follow SN

mechanism.
R−X+KOH→R−OH+KX
