When alkyl fluorides are reacted with strong bases, it was found out that the mechanism does follows a rather unconventional E1 mechanism. It was found out that the compound first forms a carbanion before the elimination. Which of the following will be the most likely product when 2-fluoropentane undergoes a reaction with an strong base? (E)-pent-2-ene Pent-1-ene Both B and C (Z)-pent-2-ene
