Chapter 9: Q83P (page 452)

Draw the major product obtained when each of the following alkyl halides undergoes an E2 reaction:

Short Answer

Expert verified

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
