Question
Chapter 9, Problem 9.82P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason the compound shown is highly unreactive under conditions that favor E2 reactions is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
An E2 reaction is favored by the anti coplanar conformation of the substrate, in which the H atom and the leaving group that are eliminated are anti to each other about the

(a) Will an E2 reaction produce (E)-anethole exclusively, or
will the reaction produce a mixture of stereoisomers?
(b) Will an E1 reaction produce the pure stereoisomer or a mixture?
(c) For each of these reactions that produces a mixture, which stereoisomer will be produced in greater abundance?
Complete the following reaction by mechanism E1 and E2. Present all steps and all possible products in each mechanism. See the image.
For each reaction shown, determine which substitution mechanism (SN1 or SN2) is likeliest to predominate, and provide two reasons to support your answer.
