Description

4-step comparison. Step 1: 'E2 (Bimolecular Elimination): Base removes β-H and LG leaves in ONE step. Anti-periplanar geometry required (H and LG on opposite sides, 180° dihedral). Rate = k[R-X][Base]. Strong, bulky bases favor E2 over SN2 (t-BuO⁻ is too bulky to be a nucleophile, acts as base inste
