Step 1

Alkyl halides, RX, are very useful in organic chemistry due to their versatility. They react with a wide range of reagents, and they are usually an important point in multi-step synthesis reactions. Nucleophilic substitution reactions may happen via SN2 or SN1 mechanism, while elimination reactions may proceed via E2 or E1 mechanism.
