WEBOct 14, 2016 · The order would be neo-pentyl bromide > tert-butyl iodide . This is because SN2 has concerted mechanism. Although, better is the leaving group, higher is the reaction rate for SN2, but, if the substrate is bulky, it has more tendency to follow SN1 mechanism because of bulkiness of the substrate which hinders the backside attack of the nucle
Dehydration of primary alcohols without a β-hydrogen
WEBJul 18, 2020 · What happens in dehydrations of primary alcohols (in presence of acid catalyst at high temperatures) which don't have a β-hydrogen? For example, in the case of neopentyl alcohol, will it dehydrate as it doesn't have a β-hydrogen?
