β-elimination is competitive to nucleophilic substitution reaction. It. has all of the following conditions for reaction EXCEPT:

Correct answer: D. It takes place at low temperature

  • A. It takes place in the presence of less polar solvent (like alcohol)
  • B. It takes place at high temperature
  • C. It requires strong nueleophile (base)
  • D. It takes place at low temperature
