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.
