title: Elimination vs substitution reaction. A dichotomy between Brønsted-Lowry and Lewis basicity.
abstract: The Brønsted-Lowry and Lewis basicity dichotomy in the elimination vs substitution reaction competition is analyzed in terms of a novel Brønsted-Lowry-Lewis basicity ωp/e. This new index unifies the dichotomy and explains the competition between elimination and substitution mechanisms of alkyl centers with para-substituted phenols.
