(a)
Interpretation:
Major product formed when given
Concept Introduction:
An E2 reaction is a concerted, one-step reaction in which the proton and the halide ion are removed in the same step.
(b)
Interpretation:
Major product formed when given alkyl halides undergoes E2 reaction has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
An E2 reaction is a concerted, one-step reaction in which the proton and the halide ion are removed in the same step. A strong base favours an E2 reaction. A high concentration of a base favours an E2 reaction. If one of the reactants is charged, an E2 reaction will be favoured by the least polar solvent that will dissolve the reactant. If neither of the reactant is charged an E2 reaction is favoured by the protic polar solvent.
The major product is a stable

The mechanism involves a reaction similar to the E2 elimination, whereby a C=O double bond is formed with a reduced iodine compound as the leaving group. The reaction occurs in a nonaqueous solvent, CH₂Cl₂, so that the aldehyde product can be recovered. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.
