    Alkyl halides can undergo two major types of reactions - substitution and/or elimination. The substitution reaction is called a Nucleophilic Substitution reaction because the electrophilic alkyl halide forms a new bond with the nucleophile which substitutes for (replaces) the halogen at the alpha-carbon. The acetylide carbanion is a good C nucleophile and can undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions (usually SN2) with 1o or 2o alkyl halides (Cl, Br or I) which have electrophilic C to produce an internal alkyne. 3o alkyl halides are more likely to undergo elimination.
