Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The stereoisomer of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-hexachlorocyclohexane that reacts 7000 times more slowly than any of the other isomer in an E2 elimination is to be drawn and the reason for the same is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The one-step bimolecular elimination reaction that favors the removal of a proton by a base from carbon adjacent to the leaving group that results in the formation of a carbocation is termed as E2 elimination reaction. The formation of a double bond takes place simultaneously through the carbocation to form an alkene as the desired product. In case of E2 elimination, the anti-periplanar geometry should exist between the halogen and the proton that is being abstracted.
