Concept introduction:
The most common mechanism for dehydrohalogenation is the E2 mechanism. An E2 reaction exhibits a second-order kinetics, in which the reaction is bimolecular and both the alkyl halide and the base appear in the rate equation. The most straightforward explanation for the second-order kinetics is a concerted reaction: all bonds are broken and formed in a single step. In other words simultaneously all bonds are broken and formed.

Answer to Problem 8.57P
The bulky tert-butyl group in the cyclohexane ring is in the equatorial position.
In the cis-isomer, the Br is in the axial position. So cis-isomer is faster than the trans-isomer.
Explanation of Solution
The bulky tert-butyl group in the cyclohexane ring is in the equatorial position. The cis isomer has the Br in the axial position while in the trans isomer the Br is in the equatorial position. For the dehydrogenation to occur, the halogen must be in the axial position to afford trans diaxial elimination of H and X. Thus the cis isomer react faster than trans where the Br lies in the equatorial position.
Thus cis-isomer is faster than the trans-isomer due to axial position of Br in the structure.

Answer to Problem 8.57P
The cis -1-bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane reacts faster when compared to trans-1-bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane.
cis -1-bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane with NaOCH3.
trans-1-bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane with NaOCH3
Explanation of Solution
NaOCH3, is a strong nucleophile. The reaction follows the SN2 in which the backside attack occurs. With the cis isomer the nucleophile can attack by the equatorial position to avoid the 1, 3-diaxial interaction. Moreover only the cis isomer has the Br and Β carbon in the anti periplanar that is in trans diaxial arrangement when compared to trans isomer. Thus the cis isomer reacts faster than trans isomer.
cis -1-bromo-4-tert-butylcyclohexane with NaOCH3

Answer to Problem 8.57P
The bulky base –OC(CH3)3 favours the elimination by an E2 reaction mechanism, to get a mixture of enantiomers A and B. The strong nucleophile –OCH3 favours nucleophile substitution by an SN2 mechanism. Inversion of configuration results from backside attack of the nucleophile. Thus different product are formed.
Explanation of Solution
-OCH3, is a strong nucleophile. The reaction follows the SN2 in which the backside attack occurs. With the cis isomer the nucleophile can attack by the equatorial position to avoid the 1, 3-diaxial interaction. Moreover only the cis isomer has the Br and Β carbon in the anti periplanar that is in trans diaxial arrangement when compared to trans isomer. Thus the cis isomer reacts faster than trans isomer. The bulky base –OC(CH3)3 favours the elimination by an E2 reaction mechanism, to get a mixture of enantiomers A and B.
Thus different product are formed when the alkyl halides uses two different alkoxides are used.
