Haloalkanes undergo substitution reactions, sometimes taking place via an mechanism, sometimes via an SN2 mechanism. In a reaction where it is not known which specific mechanism is involved, describe how a combination of kinetic and stereochemical evidence could be used to determine which mechanism is taking place. Secondary haloalkanes are capable of reacting by both mechanisms, though the one which takes place depends on the precise reaction conditions. Briefly suggest how factors such as the strength of the nucleophile and the nature of the solvent may influence whether the reaction mechanism is SN1 or SN2
