(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

3-bromocylohexene or bromocyclohexane reacts faster in E2/E1 reaction is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

An E1 reaction is a two-step reaction in which the alkyl halide dissociates forming a carbocation intermediate.  Then a base removes a proton from adjacent carbon to a positively charged carbon.

Major product is more stable alkene.

An E2 reaction is a concerted, one-step reaction in which the proton is the more stable alkene, unless the reactants are sterically hindered or the leaving group is poor.
