Chapter 9: Q22P (page 415)

What is the major elimination product obtained from the reaction of each of the following alkyl halides with hydroxide ions?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a)

b)

c)

Step by step solution

01

How SN1 reaction proceed

1. It is a two step reaction.

2. In this carbocation is formed.

3. In this negative ion will attack from the side where there is less number of bulkier groups.

4. As the carbocation intermediate is formed so the stability order 3° carbocation>2° carbocation>1° carbocation

02

Final answer

a) Here OH will attach on the place of Iodine but then OH and H from adjacent carbon will release and form double bond.

b) Here OH will attach on the place of Bromine but then OH and H from adjacent carbon will release and form double bond.

c) Here OH will attach on the place of Bromine but due to methyl shift OH will go to adjacent carbon then OH and H from adjacent carbon will release and form double bond.
