3. There are several methods for preparing alkenes. A Wittig reagent was used in this experiment. Treatment of 2° alkyl halides with base also gives rise to alkenes. Why is using a Wittig reagent a better method than using a 2° alkyl halide to prepare 1-butene? Please show complete chemical reactions (reactants and products) for both methods to support your argument.
