1-Bromobicyclo[2.2.2]octane does not undergo an E2 reaction when treated with a strong base. Explain why not. 1-Bromobicyclo[2.2.2]octane does not have any beta protons. Pi bonds cannot be formed at the bridgehead of a bicyclic compound. Secondary alky halides undergo an SN2 reaction to form the major product. A strong base favors an E1 mechanism.
