Question
why are these sterically hindered what does it even mean to be stericaly hindered
![Steric Hindrance Favors the Elimination Product
However, if either the primary alkyl halide or the nucleophile/base is sterically hindered, then the
nucleophile will have difficulty getting to the back side of the a-carbon but will be able to remove
the more accessible proton. As a result, elimination will win the competition.
