Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The rate constant of deuterated reaction is 7 times lower than hydrogen containing reaction. The effect of the given statement about the mechanism of the given reaction has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
In organic reactions, there is a competition between unimolecular nucleophilic substitution
In
The strong nucleophile (strong base) facilitates
The formation of stable carbocation is the common intermediate for both reactions.
After formation of carbocation, abstraction of proton yields alkene product in
