ok if someone has the destroyer, on road map to the top reaction with a primary bromide reacted with NaOC2H5 went substitution, however down the page with secondary promide went elimination, why, i thought in both rexns it wil go elimination since a strong nu,

 

[klutzy1987]

No a primary halide will undergo SN2 substitution. However a secondary or tertiary will undergo elimination.

however there is times when primary halids under go elimintion esp with bulky nu, right??

Yes it undergoes E2

There may be competition, but you will never get a proper elimionation with a primary halide there is always going to be a major product of a substitution.

oh & also it will form double bond at least substituted carbon.

The major product will still be a SN2 lol. you can use any base you want and there will be mostly ether.

nah when you have bulky strong base E2 takes over SN2

yeah with a strong bulky base, E2 in most destroyer problems
