(a)
Interpretation:
More reactive
Concept Introduction:
Elimination from a tertiary alkyl halide leads to more substituted product from secondary alkyl halide. Same way elimination from a secondary alkyl halide leads to more substituted
(b)
Interpretation:
More reactive alkyl halide in the given pair when reacts in an E2 reaction with hydroxide ion has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Elimination from a tertiary alkyl halide leads to more substituted product from secondary alkyl halide. Same way elimination from a secondary alkyl halide leads to more substituted alkene than does elimination from primary alkyl halide.
(c)
Interpretation:
More reactive alkyl halide in the given pair when reacts in an E2 reaction with hydroxide ion has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Elimination from a tertiary alkyl halide leads to more substituted product from secondary alkyl halide. Same way elimination from a secondary alkyl halide leads to more substituted alkene than does elimination from primary alkyl halide.

- What alkene is the major product formed from each alkyl halide in an E1 reaction?arrow_forwardThis reaction is an example of conjugate addition of a nucleophile to an a,ß-unsaturated carbonyl. LOCH3 H20 H3C H3C° OCH3 OCH3 Draw the two resonance structures of the enolate anion intermediate for this reaction.arrow_forwardWhy does increasing alkyl substitution increase the rate of an E2 reaction?arrow_forward
- Why alkyl halides are considered to be very reactive compounds towards nucleophile? they have a nucleophilic carbon & active leaving group they have an electrophilic carbon & non-active leaving group they have an electrophilic carbon & an active leaving group they have anarrow_forwardWhat is the major E2 elimination product formed from each halide?arrow_forwardWhich mechanism, E1 or E2, will occur in each reaction?arrow_forward
- Rank the set of compounds in order of reactivity (fastest to slowest) in a nucleophilic addition-elimination reaction with a nucleophile such as CH3NH2.arrow_forwardRank the following alkyl halides in order of increasing reactivity in an E2 reaction. Be sure to answer all parts. Br Br Br A C lowest reactivity intermediate reactivity highest reactivity B.arrow_forwardWhich of the following compounds reacts most rapidly in a nitration reaction?arrow_forward
