Chapter 8, Problem 8.40P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The given alkyl halides are to be ranked in order of increasing E2 and E1 reactivity.

Concept introduction: The rate of elimination reactions depends on the type of halide being used. A halide in which carbon attached to the leaving group has more number of alkyl groups is usually preferred.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Rank the alkyl halides in order of increasing E2 reactivity. Then do the same for E1 reactivity.
In both examples below the reactants shown are combined to bring about a nucleophilic substitution (SN1, SN2) and/or elimination (E1, E2) reaction. What is the major reaction that takes place in each case?
