KCET2024ChemistryHaloalkanes and Haloarenes
A haloalkane undergoes S _ N 2 or S _ N 1 reaction depending on
Options
- Asolvent used in the reaction
- Blow temperature
- Cthe type of halogen atom
- Dstability of the haloalkane
Correct answer
A. solvent used in the reaction
Step-by-step solution
- Haloalkanes undergoing S _ N 2 or S _ N 1 reaction depends upon the solvent used in the reaction. - S _ N 2 reactions are generally carried out in polar aprotic solvent while S _ N 1 reactions are carried out in polar protic solvents.
