Learning Objectives: Learn the mechanisms used to describe the various reactions of alkyl halides. Be able to describe the effect of solvent, substrate structure, and nucleophile/base have on the mechanism and the outcome of the reaction. Be able to predict the most-likely mechanism for the reactions of alkyl halides.
