The correct Answer is:
To determine which mechanisms primary alkyl halides preferably undergo, we need to analyze the characteristics of various mechanisms: E1, E1CB, SN1, and SN2. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Primary Alkyl Halides**: - Primary alkyl halides are compounds where the halogen is attached to a primary carbon (a carbon bonded to only one other carbon). 2. **Analyzing the Mechanisms**: - **E1 Mechanism**: - This mechanism involves the formation of a carbocation intermediate. - Stability of carbocations is crucial; tertiary carbocations are more stable than secondary, which are more stable than primary. - Therefore, primary alkyl halides do not favor the E1 mechanism. 3. **E1CB Mechanism**: - In this mechanism, a carbanion is formed instead of a carbocation. - Primary carbanions are relatively stable compared to secondary and tertiary. - Thus, primary alkyl halides can undergo the E1CB mechanism. 4. **SN1 Mechanism**: - Similar to E1, the SN1 mechanism also involves the formation of a carbocation. - Again, the stability of the carbocation is key. Since primary carbocations are the least stable, primary alkyl halides do not favor the SN1 mechanism. 5. **SN2 Mechanism**: - In this mechanism, the reaction occurs in a single step where the nucleophile attacks the carbon atom, displacing the leaving group. - The rate of the SN2 reaction is inversely proportional to steric hindrance. - Since primary alkyl halides have less steric hindrance, they are most favorable for the SN2 mechanism. 6. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, primary alkyl halides preferably undergo the E1CB and SN2 mechanisms. ### Final Answer: Primary alkyl halides preferably undergo the E1CB and SN2 mechanisms.
