Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The by-products of the given reaction are to be drawn and the movement of electrons is to be shown by using curved arrow notation.

Concept introduction: In E2 elimination reactions, the proton is abstracted from the beta carbon to form an alkene. A concerted mechanism is followed for this type of reactions and by-products are also possible.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The effect of the given change on the reaction rate is to be stated.

Concept introduction: In E2 elimination reactions, substituents which are adjacent to each other are eliminated from an alkyl halide to form an alkene. A concerted mechanism is followed for this type of reactions.

Draw the energy diagram of the following reaction (label and draw reactants, intermediates, and products). Label transition state of the rate limiting step and draw the transition state of the rate determining step. Is it a concerted or stepwise reaction? Write the rate law for this reaction. How do we increase the reaction rate? If we use deutrium-tert-butyl bromide such as (CD3)3CBr instead of (CH3)3CBr, will it increase or decrease the reaction rate? Or there is no meaningful rate change. Write reasons for your answer. Draw mechanisms for reactions by drawing arrows and intermediates.
What type of eliminaton reactions occur in this process? Br Br Two E2 reactions Two E1 reactions An E2 reaction followed by an E1 reaction. O An E2 reaction followed by an E1 reaction. strong base
