mhchen:

I don't know chem.

Ultrilliam:

For some reason, I thought you did. Awkward.

sweetburger:

lool

Vocaloid:

From what I remember this should be an SN2 reaction Let me try and figure out the products :S

sweetburger:

Yeah i figured SN2 and the major product being essentially just an ether. I was guessing the minor product would be an alkene and undergo E2 elimination

Vocaloid:

Right that's what I was thinking too I'm in my phone rn so I can't really draw it out

sweetburger:

ok cool. No worries
