A)at high temperatures.
B)when tert-butoxide ion is used.
C)when 3 $\circ$ alkyl halides are used as substrates.
D)when nucleophiles are used which are strong bases and the substrate is a 2 $\circ$ alkyl halide.
E)in all of these cases.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elimination reactions are favored over nucleophilic substitution reactions in all the conditions listed: at high temperatures, when tert-butoxide ion (a strong base) is used, when 3° alkyl halides are used as substrates (since they hinder nucleophilic attack making elimination more favorable), and when strong bases are used as nucleophiles with 2° alkyl halides (as the steric hindrance and base strength favor elimination).
