trust me, bro:
here is the receipt.
the claim
Alpha carbonyl halides are the most reactive towards SN2 reactions
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 86/100

Alpha carbonyl halides are exceptionally reactive toward SN2 reactions due to electronic and resonance activation from the adjacent carbonyl group, allowing facile nucleophilic substitution.
