Can you help me understand Substitution and Beta-Elimination Reactions in Organic Chemistry?
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009
Me asked:
Why does Beta elimination always compete with nucleophilic substitution? I dont understand. And how do I know which will happen, or more specifically, what would I write on a test? Im really confused on this topic and I can not figure it out. Please, if you can, clarify this for me. Thanks so much!
