You have a secondary alkyl iodide, not a tertiary. The reading I have done indicates that if one uses a polar, aprotic solvent, one might tilt things toward the SN2. Can you give an example of such a solvent?
Yes, I'm aware that it's not tertiary. It was just a point where SN2/E2 are clear differentiated.
Acetone is one such solvent right? If I understand correctly, aprotic means that it has no O-H bonds (like water and all alcohols).
Simple ketones generally don't have such bonds since the oxygen bonds to carbon only.
