| Apr 3 at 17:56 | comment | added | AADETYA JAISWAL | @Zhe, could you elaborate a bit on the steric effect? I don't get where the steric factor comes into play, as both the leaving group and the base are non-bulky. | |
| Apr 3 at 15:27 | comment | added | Zhe | Might be hard to say in this case, since steric effects might be significant. The best way to check would be to run the actual reaction. All you have here are general preferences where you don't know the magnitude of the effect, so at the end of the day, there is no hard prediction. | |
