Ok so for ochem destroyer question 62 on the 2012 destroyer...the question asks which of the following reactions would yield an alkene. The answer is 2-iodobutane reacted with NaOCH3. I understand how this is a possible answer because the reactant can undergo both SN2 and E2. However why couldn't t butyl iodide reacted with CH3OH also create an alkene? isnt there a possibility of E1 in this case?
