Which one is a nucleophilic substitution reaction among the following ?
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
Because of high electronegativities of the halogen atom, the carbon halogen (C – X) is highly polarised covalent bond. Thus, the carbon atom of the C – X bond becomes a good site for attack by nucleophiles (electron rich species). Nucleophilic substitution reactions are the most common reactions of alkyl halides.
