Overview
A secondary bromoalkane with a stereogenic bromine-bearing carbon.
The reacting carbon is bonded to hydrogen, bromine, methyl and ethyl groups. It is more hindered toward backside attack than 1-bromobutane. Its unspecified stereochemistry is separate from the question of whether a chosen reaction follows substitution or elimination.
