Define the E1 mechanism.
Think of the steps involved.
What is the rate law for E2?
Consider what factors influence the reaction rate.
What is the primary difference between E1 and E2 mechanisms?
Focus on the sequence of events in each mechanism.
True or False: The E2 reaction mechanism requires a strong base.
Consider what role the base plays in the reaction.
Given a secondary alcohol, outline a complete mechanism for its dehydration to form an alkene. Include which pathway is favored.
Remember the steps and what conditions facilitate the reaction.
Propose the products and mechanisms when 2-bromohexane is treated with a strong, bulky base like tert-butoxide.
Consider what effects the base's strength and steric factors have on the elimination process.
