Chapter 8, Problem 8.38P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The by-products of the given reaction are to be drawn and the movement of electrons is to be shown by using curved arrow notation.

Concept introduction: In E2 elimination reactions, the proton is abstracted from the beta carbon to form an alkene. A concerted mechanism is followed for this type of reactions and by-products are also possible.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The effect of the given change on the reaction rate is to be stated.

Concept introduction: In E2 elimination reactions, substituents which are adjacent to each other are eliminated from an alkyl halide to form an alkene. A concerted mechanism is followed for this type of reactions.

Consider the attached E2 reaction What happens to the reaction rate with each of the following changes?[1] The solvent is changed to DMF. [2] The concentration of −OC(CH3)3 is decreased. [3] The base is changed to −OH. [4] The halide is changed to CH3CH2CH2CH2CH(Br)CH3. [5] The leaving group is changed to I−.
How does changing the base from −OH to H2O affect the rate of an E2 reaction?
