Discuss on Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions

General objective of this article is to discuss on Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions. Alkyl halides undergo many reactions when a nucleophile displaces the halogen atom bonded on the central carbon of molecule. The displaced halogen atom gets a halide ion. The halogen ion that may be displaced from the carbon atom is referred to as the leaving group, as well as the overall reaction is called a nucleophilic substitution reaction.
