Concept introduction: Carbocation is a general term employed for a postively charged carbon irrespective of valency of carbon. In carbocation, carbon is bonded to 3 atoms or groups and has only sextet of electrons so it behaves as an electron-deficient species. It is sp2 hybridized with a vacant p orbital and has a planar geometry.

The order of relative stability of various possible carbocation species is as follows:

함 H Follow the curved arrows and draw the product of this reaction. . You do not have to consider stereochemistry.
Tertiary alkyl halides readily undergo elimination via an E1 mechanism when they react with a weak base, as shown in the video below. Consider the reaction of (2R,3R)-2-bromo-2,3-dimethyl-1-phenylbutane with methanol. CH3OH 60°C
Draw a curved arrow mechanism for the substitution reaction that will occur with the alkyl halide and nucleophile below, adding steps as necessary. Be sure to include all nonbonding electrons and all nonzero formal charges, and show all species that react or are formed in this reaction.
