1. Compare and contrast SN1, SN2, E1 and E2 reactions. What are some obvious similarities and differences between each reaction pathway? What are the requirements for each reaction to work? Discuss why SN2 is in direct competition with E2 while SN1 is in direct competition with the E1 reaction pathway. What is the rate expression for each? Which Which reactions are step-wise? reactions are concerted? Which reactions are stereospecific and what is the stereospecificity of each that are? How do the variables below help influence which reaction pathway will lead to the major product formed? a. Substrate (substitution pattern and leaving group ability) b. Nucleophile/base strength (weak or strong) and size (unhindered or hindered) C. Solvent (polar-aprotic or polar-protic) d Temperature (low/ambient temps vs higher tampg)

For this mechanism, why are there two E1 major products? Are both of the E1 products of equal stability? Why or why not? What is the relative stability of the cycloalkenes with methyl? Also, why doesn't SN1 have two products? Is it because shifting the hydride would make it less stable?
