Effects of Methyl Substitution and Leaving Group on E2/S<sub>N</sub>2 Competition for Reactions of F<sup>−</sup> with RY (R = CH<sub>3</sub>, C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>5</sub>, <sup>i</sup>C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>7</sub>, <sup>t</sup>C<sub>4</sub>H<sub>9</sub>; Y = Cl, I)
The competition between base-induced elimination (E2) and bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (S<sub>N</sub>2) is of significant importance in organic chemistry and is influenced by many factors. The electronic structure calculations for the gas-phase reactions of F<sup>−</sup...
