(a)
Interpretation:
Whether each of the given reaction are an E2 or an E1 occurs has to be decided and the major elimination product has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
E1 reaction is a unimolecular elimination
The alkyl halide dissociates to form a carbocation. The base abstract a proton from the β-carbon.
An E2 reaction is favoured by a high concentration of a strong base.
An E1 reaction is favoured by a low concentration of a weak base.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether each of the given reaction are an E2 or an E1 occurs has to be decided and the major elimination product has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
E1 reaction is a unimolecular elimination reaction in which rate of the reaction depends on the concentration of alkyl halide.
The alkyl halide dissociates to form a carbocation. The base abstract a proton from the β-carbon.
An E2 reaction is favoured by a high concentration of a strong base.
An E1 reaction is favoured by a low concentration of a weak base.
