Explain why the following reaction produces only a substitution and no elimination products.

• A. The reactant does not contain a β-hydrogen that is anti-periplanar to the leaving group.
• B. The reactant does not have equatorial hydrogen on any of the β-carbons, therefore it can not undergo an elimination reaction.
• C. Due to the poor leaving group, the reactant can not undergo an elimination reaction.
• D. Due to the poor base, the elimination reaction does not occur.

Answer: (A)
