result is racemization However in relatively non polar solvents ion pairs may lead to an excess of inversion In E1 reactions the more substituted alkene always predominates Here is a decision tree CLICK that summarizes our rules for deciding when SN2 SN1 E1 and E2 will occur SN1 E1 is facilitated by polar protic solvents that strongly solvate the
