Survey in Substitution Reactions and Elimination Reactions

The reactions of alkyl halides typically involve either substitution or elimination pathways. Depending on a variety of factors, the reaction mechanism can be either SN1, SN2, E1, E2, or some combination of these. By understanding the influences different factors have on each of these mechanisms, it is usually possible to predict which mechanism will predominate.
