Chapter 23, Problem 23.59QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given of type reaction should be identified

Concept introduction:

Elimination reaction: An elimination reaction is removal of two substituents in a molecule and forms alkene. An elimination reaction is one or two-step process which based on the mechanism when two substituents removed from the molecule in single step is called E1 reaction. When two substituents are removed from the molecule in two steps is called E2 reaction.

Benzyne mechanism: the reaction begins with the removal of a proton ortho to the leaving group by a strong base e.g. sodium amide, sodamide.
