(a)
Interpretation:
The major and minor products must be predicted for the given E2 reaction.
Concept Introduction :
Unless the bulky base is used generally more substituted
(b)
Interpretation:
The major and minor products must be predicted for the given E2 reaction.
Concept Introduction :
In an E2 reaction, if a less hindered base is used, then hydrogen abstraction takes place from more hindered carbon to produce more substituted alkene as the major product. The anti-periplanar orientation of the two leaving groups is required.
(c)
Interpretation:
The major and minor products must be predicted for the given E2 reaction.
Concept Introduction :
The anti-periplanar orientation of the two outgoing group is required.
(d)
Interpretation:
The major and minor products must be predicted for the given E2 reaction.
Concept Introduction :
The less bulky base in E2 reaction produces more substituted alkene as the major product.
(e)
Interpretation:
The major and minor products must be identified for the given E2 reaction.
Concept Introduction :
The more bulky bases prefer to take hydrogen from less hindered carbon in order to produce less substituted alkene as the major product.
(f)
Interpretation:
The major and minor products must be identified for the given E2 reaction.
Concept Introduction :
The bulky bases prefer to take hydrogen from less hindered carbon in order to produce less substituted alkene as the major product.

Use the Zaitsev rule to determine the major product.arrow_forwardAll rearrangements we have discussed so far have involved generation of an electron-deficient carbon followed by a 1,2-shift of an atom or a group of atoms from an adjacent atom to the electron-deficient carbon. Rearrangements by a 1,2-shift can also occur following the generation of an electron-deficient oxygen.
