Chapter 9 Substitution and Elimination Reactions of Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are classified asprimary(1°), secondary(2°), or tertiary (3°), depending on the number of carbons bonded to the carbon with the halogen atom. • The halogen atom in halides is often denoted by the symbol “X”.
General Features of Nucleophilic Substitution Three components are necessary in any substitution reaction.
Negatively charged nucleophiles like HO¯ and HS¯ are used. • When a neutral nucleophile is used, the substitution product bears a positive charge.
To draw any nucleophilic substitution product: • Find the sp3 hybridized carbon with the leaving group. • Identify the nucleophile, the species with a lone pair or bond. • Substitute the nucleophile for the leaving group and assign charges (if necessary) to any atom that is involved in bond breaking or bond formation.

Effect of Alkyl Groups on SN1 Reactions • This trend is exactly opposite to that observed in SN2 reactions.
E2 Reaction THIS REACTION IS KNOWN AS b-ELIMINATION
Regioselectivity of E2 Reactions WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS MORE THAN ONE b-HYDROGEN?
The Zaitsev (Saytzeff) Rule • When alkyl halides have two or more different carbons, more than one alkene product can be formed. • The Zaitsevrule predicts that the major product in elimination has the more substituted double bond. This is the more stable alkene.
Stereoselectivity of E2 Reactions • The E2 reaction is stereoselective because the more stable stereoisomer is formed preferentially.
