@ledepotesta yes. It's coming from your basement.

@ledepotesta There is medication for that type of disorder :P jk jk..

whoever disliked this must have failed their organic chemistry exam.

@cooltendy the substrate is tertiary; tertiary substrates always go through Sn1 if there is protic solvent.

[ledepotesta]

am i the only one who hears children's scream in the background

[guzzbar]

@thek1n9 WRONGGGGGGGGGG

water is the solvent

there are probably a million water molecules for evrey Iodide

so which one you think is gonna act as the base??

obviously the one that is in abundance

[alectroblazex]

@thek1n9 why is iodide favored if it is a strong acid? I agree with cooltendy that a hydronium ion would rather be formed, unless this is an exception when doing elimination reactions

[thek1n9]

@cooltendy this is possible, but Iodide is favored

[thek1n9]

intuitively, i would write base takes Beta H and then pi bond forms

[cooltendy]

i thot H2O will pik the H not iodide..solvolyiss
