If in a solution of alkyl halide in a nonpolar solvent, base is added which of the following reaction takes place?
Correct answer: D. E2
- A. SN2
- B. E1
- C. SN1
- D. E2
Explanation
Correct Option : DThis option is correct because E2 reactions take place in the presence of non polar solvent and a base.

About Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are named and related to their carbon-halogen structure, polarity and reactivity. The key reactions are nucleophilic substitution by SN1 and SN2 mechanisms and elimination by E1 and E2 mechanisms, including how substrate structure, nucleophile, base, solvent and temperature influence substitution versus elimination.
