    SN2 E2 SN1 E1
    Substrate CH3 > 1o > 2o 3o > 2o > 1o 3o > 2o 3o > 2o
    Nucleophile/Base strong nuc strong base weak nuc weak base
    Solvent polar aprotic polar aprotic* polar protic polar protic
    Leaving Group good good good good

    *E2 reactions are slower in polar protic solvents than polar aprotic solvents but still work well in either.
