Question
In addition to not undergoing substitution reactions, the alkyl bromide shown in Problem $11-32$ also fails to undergo an elimination reaction when treated with base. Explain.
Step 1

In addition to not undergoing substitution reactions, the alkyl bromide shown in Problem 11.48 also fails to undergo an elimination reaction when treated with base. Explain.
Explain why the following alkyl halide does not undergo a substitution reaction, regardless of the conditions under which the reaction is run:
How does the ratio of substitution product to elimination product formed from the reaction of propyl bromide with $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{-}$ in methanol change if the nucleophile is changed to $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{S}^{-}$ ?
