Question 19 In the reactions of the 5 alkyl halides in ethanol (EtOH), which substrates reacted and which pathway was likely followed? A None of the alkyl halides reacted as EtOH is not capable of being a nucleophile. B The primary alkyl halides, which are accessible to a nucleophile, reacted through SN2. All of the alkyl halides reacted because EtOH is a very powerful nucleophile. The alkyl halides capable of giving a stabilized carbocation reacted through SN1.
