1、8.13 Substitution and Elimination as Competing Reactions,Alkyl halides can react with Lewis bases in two different ways; nucleophilic substitution or elimination.,H,X,+,Y,H,+,b-elimination,nucleophilic substitution,Two Reaction Types,How can we tell which reaction pathway is followed for a particula
2、r alkyl halide?,H,X,+,Y,H,+,b-elimination,nucleophilic substitution,Two Reaction Types,A systematic approach is to choose as a reference point the reaction followed by a typical alkyl halide (secondary) with a typical Lewis base (an alkoxide ion).,The major reaction of a secondary alkyl halide with
