KCET · Chemistry · Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
A haloalkane undergoes \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2\) or \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1\) reaction depending on
- A solvent used in the reaction
- B low temperature
- C the type of halogen atom
- D stability of the haloalkane
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) solvent used in the reaction
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
- Haloalkanes undergoing \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2\) or \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1\) reaction depends upon the solvent used in the reaction.
- \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2\) reactions are generally carried out in polar aprotic solvent while \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1\) reactions are carried out in polar protic solvents.
- \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2\) reactions are generally carried out in polar aprotic solvent while \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1\) reactions are carried out in polar protic solvents.
