Chapter 9, Problem 9.10P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given anion is to be identified as a strong or weak base. Whether it will favor an E1 or an E2 mechanism is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The basicity of an anion is determined by the pKa value of its conjugate acid. The strength of the base is then generally considered relative to HO-. If the pKa value of the conjugate acid of the anion is less than that of water, it will be a stronger acid than water. Consequently, the anion is considered a weak base. If the pKa of the conjugate acid of the base is higher than that of water, then it is a weaker acid. The base is then considered a strong base.

A strong base favors E2 mechanism while a weak base favors E1 mechanism.
