Reaction mechanism to produce alcohols or amines from halogenoalkanes
Nucleophilic substitution
Reaction mechanism to produce an alkene from a halogenoalkane
Elimination
Reaction mechanism that can only occur from 2 ° and 3 ° halogenoalkanes
Elimination
Reaction mechanism that can only occur from 1 ° and 2 ° halogenoalkanes
Nucleophilic substitution
CFCs
Absorb UV radiation, breaking down the carbon-halogen bonds to form free radicals that can catalyse ozone depletion
Nucleophilic substitution
Halogenoalkane to alcohols or amines
Elimination
Halogenoalkane to alkene
Reaction conditions to form an alkene from a halogenoalkane
High temperatures under alcoholic conditions
