Q 11-11-20 P-b
Question
Tell whether each of the following reactions is likely to be SN1, SN2, E1, E1cB or E2:
b)
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
b) The given reaction is an E2 reaction
1E2 reaction
An E2 reaction occurs when a base attacks the beta hydrogen of an alkyl halide, which leads to the loss of leaving group. An E2 product formed is alkene.
2Whether the reaction is S N 1 , S N 2 , E1, E1cB or E2
a) The given reaction occurs by an E2 mechanism because the substrate of the reaction is secondary halide, and it reacts with a strong base KOH. The product formed is an elimination product.
