11. Alkyl halides differ greatly in the ease with which they undergo the Finkelstein reaction.12. The latter reaction is also significant for involving a traditionally inaccessible alkyl halide coupling. 13. This transformation include alkylations with other classes of activated alkyl halides of synthetic interest. 14. However, phenols can be used to replace the alcohol, while maintaining the alkyl halide . 15. Chemically, halothane is an alkyl halide ( not an ether like many other anesthetics ). 16. As mentioned above, the Wittig reagent itself is usually derived from a primary alkyl halide . 17. Additionally, the presence of ?-hydrogens makes alkyl halides susceptible to competitive elimination processes. 18. The compound is used as a reagent for the preparation of primary amines from alkyl halides . 19. The coupling of alkyl halides with organo-halo-silanes as alternative organosilanes has also been performed. 20. Silanes can also incorporate the same functional groups as alkanes, e . g . alkyl halide ).
