Interpretation:
A detailed mechanism for the reaction between the given compound and
Concept introduction:
The reaction can occur via two mechanisms, E1 or E2. A strong base at high concentration in a
The E2 mechanism is a single-step, bimolecular mechanism. The base extracts a proton from a carbon adjacent to the carbon with the halogen attached to it. The
The E1 mechanism is a two-step, unimolecular mechanism. The leaving group breaks off in the first, rate-determining step, leading to the formation of a carbocation. The base then extracts a proton from an adjacent carbon to give the elimination product. The carbocation formed in the first step can rearrange if it results in the formation of a more stable carbocation. This results in the formation of a mixture of products.
