Chapter 8, Problem 8.33P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The complete detailed mechanism for the given reaction is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The unimolecular elimination (${\text{E}}_{\text{1}}$) reaction takes place in two steps. First, in ${\text{E}}_{\text{1}}$ reaction, the leaving group leaves in the heterolysis step and intermediate a carbocation is formed. In the second step, the base deprotonates the adjacent hydrogen and forms a $\text{π}$ bond. This step is called electrophile elimination step.
