Interpretation: The mechanism of the reaction in which methanol acts as nucleophile rather than a base in the formation of cyclohexene is to be represented.
Concept introduction: The elimination reaction is the organic reaction in which two substituents are removed from the organic molecule in one step or two steps. The two mechanisms of the elimination reaction are E1 and E2 mechanism.
In E2 mechanism, the elimination takes place in one step.
The dehydrohalogenation reaction of the organic compound results in the formation of
To determine: The mechanism of the reaction in which methanol acts as nucleophile rather than a base in the formation of cyclohexene.
