first and foremost, wonderful post !! I just have one question that, if there would have been an alkyl halide, in which the carbon bearing the leaving group (halogen atom), which is the alpha carbon, is also having a H-atom attached to it & one H-atom is attached to the β-carbon as well, then in my view the H-atom attached to the alpha carbon is more acidic than the one attached to the β-carbon. So then why isn’t the most acidic proton abstracted by a Base ??

These represent three of the four most important reaction types in a typical Org 1 […]
