ive got a question regarding the E1 and E2. So on something like this reaction

2-chlorobutane 1. (CH3)3CO-Na+ 2. (CH3)3COH would give you 1-butene.

the base is bulky and is a secondary halide which would make it good for E2, but for E2, you need a polar Aprotic solvent, in this case we have a tertiary alcohol as the solvent, which is polar protic...can someone explain this discrepency??

I've been noticing this a lot
