Consider an E2 reaction between and . What effect does each of the following changes have on the rate of elimination? (a) The base is changed to KOH. (b) The alkylhalide is changed to .
Dehydrohalogenation of 1-chloro-1-methyl cyclopropane affords two alkenes (A and B) as products. Explain why A is the major product despite the fact that it contains the less substituted double bond.
Draw an E1 mechanism for the following reaction. Draw the structure of the transition state for each step.
Elimination of HBr from 2-bromobutane affords a mixture of but-1-ene and but-2-ene. With sodium ethoxide as base, but-2-ene constitutes 81% of the alkene products, but with potassium tert-butoxide, but-2-ene constitutes only 67% of the alkene products. Offer an explanation for this difference.
