Question
--- **Question:** What is the likely mechanism of the following reaction? ![Reaction Diagram] The chemical reaction involves an alkyl bromide, specifically CH₃CH₂CH₂Br, and proceeds to form an alkene, CH₃CH=CH₂, along with the byproduct HBr. A Lewis base is shown, which is a nitrogen compound with a negative charge, facilitating this transformation. **Select one option:** - A. E1 - B. S<sub>N</sub>1 - C. E2 - D. S<sub>N</sub>2 **Explanation of Reaction Mechanism Options:** - **E1 (Elimination Unimolecular):** - Involves two steps: a rate-determining step where the leaving group departs, forming a carbocation, followed by deprotonation. - **S<sub>N</sub>1 (Substitution Nucleophilic Unimolecular):** - Involves the formation of a carbocation intermediate followed by nucleophilic attack. - **E2 (Elimination Bimolecular):** - A single concerted step where a base abstracts a proton while the leaving group departs, forming a double bond. - **S<sub>N</sub>2 (Substitution Nucleophilic Bimolecular):** - A single step reaction where the nucleophile attacks the substrate at the same time as the leaving group departs. ---
