During today's lecture (Mon) Dr. Fryhle said that during a reaction
between an alcohol and an alkyl halide the Sn2 mechanism proceeds with
primary and methyl alcohols. He added that the methyl is faster than the
primary. He explained why but I did not write fast enough to get his
explanation. Can anyone explain?
Thanks,
