SN and E reactions
Can someone summarize in (bullet points) ALL the factors affecting substitution and elimination reactions?
And also the conditions (like polar protic solvent etc.)

Deciding SN1/SN2/E1/E2 (1) - The Substrate
SN1 SN2 E1 E2 : Substrate. The biggest impact on which reaction pathway occurs is whether the alkyl halide is primary, secondary, or tertiary.

Deciding SN1/SN2/E1/E2 - The Solvent
With a secondary alkyl halide and a poorly basic but strong nucleophile in a polar aprotic solvent, expect SN2. If the nucleophile is a strong base, expect E2, regardless of solvent.

SN1 SN2 E1 E2 Practice Problems
Here are some practice questions on the SN1/SN2/E1/E2. One note – before you try cracking problems on deciding whether a reaction is SN1, SN2, E1,
Damn these are great , i got some points to include in my notes too , thanks a lot sir !
