(a)
Interpretation:
Reactant which undergoes elimination reaction more rapidly is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Elimination from a tertiary
Relative relativities of alkyl halide in an E2 reaction is,
(b)
Interpretation:
Reactant which undergoes elimination reaction more rapidly is 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.
Relative relativities of alkyl halide in an E2 reaction is 30 > 20 > 10
