stereochemistry General Concepts The most common of the variety of methods available for preparing alkyl halides is the replacement of the hydroxyl group of an alcohol. This type of reaction is representative of an important class of reactions in organic chemistry called nucleophilic aliphatic substitution reactions. There are numerous ways of doing this transformation‚ and we will discuss these in lecture. In this experiment you will convert an alcohol to an alkyl halide by reaction with a hydrohalic
