Step by step solution

01

Definition of elimination reaction

Elimination reaction is basically a reaction between alkyl bromide and a base in a step-by-step manner or in a concerted mechanism of bond breaking and making. During the elimination reaction, The C-X (X=halogen) and C-H bond should be in anti-periplanar fashion.

Example: E1, E2 E1cB mechanism.

02

Definition of substitution reaction

Substitution reaction is a nucleophilic reaction where the nucleophile attacks the compound either breaking the C-Br bond simultaneously with making the new bond or by forming carbocation 1st at the transition state by breaking of C-Br bond.

Example: SN1, SN2 mechanism.

03

Mechanism

The mechanism and products of the substitution and elimination reactions are given below,
