@@jeanninu 2ry alkyl halide not sterically hindered like 3ry halide.... And so, still has the ability to undergo SN2 mechanism. While 3ry halide is sterically hindered so it is impossible to undergo SN2 mechanism because back side attack of the nucleophile on the alpha carbon can not occur.
I’m actually confused as to why the first one is E2 when we have a primary alkyl halide it will be SN2 Secondary Sn1 (weak nuc + polar protic … has a H to donate) or a SN2 reaction ( strong nuc + polar aprotic ( no H to donate)
An Sn2 reaction with a sterically hindered tertiary carbon would probably take a million years , so yes it's possible theoretically speaking if you plan on waiting.
thank you for taking the time to publish this (:
LoveTheCreator NotTheCreation hey i like ur name. Praise God 🙏
Hello. Why is secondary for the 3 mechanism and not tertiary

The last example... Reaction of 2ry alkyl halide with strong bulky base will give Hoffman alkene instead of Zaitsev... isn't it? 🤔
Yeah, l think he made a mistake.
I was about to comment the same, its a mistake.

And tertiary is Sn1
Did you ever figure it out i have the same question

I dont understand why the first one cant also be SN2
Its connected to a tertiary carbocation.
Sn2 does not react with tertiary carbon
