Which among the following is most common in alkyl halides?

  1. A Nucleophilic substitution
  2. B Electrophilic substitution
  3. C Electrophilic addition
  4. D Nucleophilic addition
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Nucleophilic substitution

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Alkyl halides readily undergo nucleophilic substitution like \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2\) and \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1\). Here a stronger nucleophile, \(\mathrm{Nu}^{\ominus}\) substitutes a weaker nucleophile (leaving group : \(X^{-}\)) from an alkyl halide.
