  • Oraganic Chemistry: Reaction Mechanisms

    In order to assess the impact of a solvent on the rate of an SN2 reaction (or SN1, E1,E2 elimination for that matter) it is important to consider solvent interactions with the reactants as well as the transition state complex Polar aprotic solvents

    The reagent is NaOH the solvent is H2O, I figured it can only undergo E2 since its tertiary substrate and since its a charged nucleophile it wont undergo Sn1 and Sn2(tertiary don't undergo Sn2) thus leading me to believe that E2 is only possible product

  • Why E2 is favored over SN2

    (The whole E1, E2, SN1, SN2 pathways is somewhat complicated as it is not dependent only on just nature of base. Solvent, alkyl halide can also affect which pathway is taken. Even in base, bulkiness of base can dictate reaction mechanisms.
