Haloalkanes Learning objectives: 1. Provide both IUPAC and common names for haloalkanes. 2. Differentiate primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl halides. 3. Write the general electron-pushing (arrow-pushing) mechanisms for SN1 and SN2 reactions. 4. Draw the potential energy diagrams for SN1 and SN2 reactions. 5. Predict the favored reaction between SN1 and SN2 mechanisms for a given haloalkane based on the structures of haloalkanes, the structures of nucleophiles, leaving groups, and solvents. 6. Write the general electron-pushing (arrow-pushing) mechanisms for E1 and E2 reactions. 7. Draw the potential energy diagrams for E1 and E2 reactions. 8. Predict the favored reaction between E1 and E2 mechanisms for a given haloalkane based on the structures of haloalkanes, the strengthes of bases, and leaving groups. 9. Predict the major product(s), including the stereochemistry, of elimination reactions.
