1. Mechanistically, what is the major difference between an E1
and E2 elimination process?
2. Why is phosphoric acid or sulfuric acid used in the E1
elimination reactin rather than HCl or HBr?
3. If the elimination reaction can result in the formation of to
different alkenes which one with predominate in the product?
1) Create a chart comparing E1, E2, SN1 and SN2 reactions. Be
detailed and cover: structure of RX, reactivity of nucleophile,
concentration of nucleophile, solvent and stereochemistry.
Organic chemistry question: Regarding Sn1, Sn2, E1, E2
reactions, how or when do you know when the chemical(ex. Iodide) is
attacking the Halo(Bromine) from the back or the front? *Urgent*
Examples please.....
