Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The plausible mechanism for the given reaction has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction
Unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction
- Loss of leaving group: where the loss of leaving group from the substrate gives a carbocation intermediate.
- Nucleophilic attack: A nucleophile attacks the carbocation intermediate to afford the product.
Stability of carbocation: Generally
Leaving group: it is a fragment that leaves substrate with a pair of electrons via heterolytic bond cleavage.
Nucleophile: Donates pair of electrons to positively charged substrate resulting in the formation of
(b)
Interpretation:
The plausible mechanism for the given reaction has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Elimination reaction: A general reaction type in which a substance X-Y lost to yield unsaturated product that has multiple bonds.
Zaitsev Rule: In an elimination reaction, the most substituted product is formed and is the most stable and favored product.
Hofmann rule: The major

Elimination reaction: A general reaction type in which a substance X-Y lost to yield unsaturated product that has multiple bonds.
Zaitsev Rule: In an elimination reaction, the most substituted product is formed and is the most stable and favored product.
Hofmann rule: The major alkene product obtained in an elimination reaction is the least substituted and generally be the least stable. The process is based on the base been used.

Leaving group: it is a fragment that leaves substrate with a pair of electrons via heterolytic bond cleavage.
Nucleophile: Donates pair of electrons to positively charged substrate resulting in the formation of chemical bond.
