(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.

- Which of the following compounds reacts most rapidly in a nitration reaction?arrow_forward3. Both El and E2 reactions are possible with 3° alkyl halides. Which elimination mechanism would be favored by the base NaOH? Show the curved arrow mechanism leading to both regioisomers. Draw the energy diagram for this reaction and include the transition state structure leading to each of the possible products. Indicate which one would be favored and use the energy diagram to explain your reasoning. How would you favor the other regioisomer?
