SN2 can be best carried out with:
Correct answer: A. Primary alkyl halide
- A. Primary alkyl halide
- B. Secondary alkyl halide
- C. Tertiary alkyl halide
- D. All of the above
Explanation
SN2 reaction is most favoured by primary Alkyl Halides.This is because the primary alkyl halide provides minimum hindrance for SN2 substitution reaction.The order of reactivity of alkyl halide towards SN2 can be given as follow: 1∘ >2∘ >3∘

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.
