reaction with strong Base but neither E1 nor E2 possible?
« on: October 01, 2016, 01:15:04 PM »
hallo there! :)
I am stucked with a problem here.. lets say I have something like this 8see attachment)
In my opinion neither E2 nor E1 are possible because the beta C is quartery, which means no Elimination. So, under normal standard Elimination conditions, would a SN2 reaction occur or any?

Thanks in advance!

Oh, and can someone explain me when exactly a  Williamsons Ether synthesis happens and why not Elimination, or in which extend? I need the parameters  :(

How fast do you think the reaction will be?

How does the structure of the substrate ordinarily affect the rate of an SN2 process?  Are there any exceptional features of this case?
