Alkylation of amines with alkyl halides proceeds by _________

Alkylation of amines with alkyl halides proceeds by _________ Correct Answer nucleophilic substitution

The amines itself acts as nucleophiles and attack the alkyl halide at the carbon-halogen bond to substitute the halogen atom by itself. This occurs by production of small amount of acid at each step, which may prevent the reaction by proceeding by protonating the amine.
