i read them but uh my doubt was different, why didn't ether undergo elimination irrespective of the presence of heat
Serb
SerbOP8mo ago
yeahhh exactly heat undergoes elimination but in a specific question, it undegoed substitution over elimination

Popov's rule? We were taught it works for both unsymmetrical ketones and ethers Basically any group that can metamerise.

isnt it because of sn2 reaction, where the cl- attacks the less sterrically hindered site
Opt

Yeah basically.
Serb
SerbOP8mo ago
yeah but then why doesnt it undergo elimination due to the presence of heat?

The alcohol or the halide?
Serb
SerbOP8mo ago
both? that isnt possible? sry i know it might be a silly doubt
