Talk:Corey–House synthesis

Question
The article says, "If second alkyl halide is not the same as the first, then cross-products are formed and the yield is not worth doing the reaction itself." Could someone please explain what this means, and why it's true? Shalom (Hello • Peace) 01:36, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
