Chapter 8, Problem 8.43P
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.

Rank the alkyl halides in order of increasing E2 reactivity. Then do the same for E1 reactivity.
Which of the following statements about nucleophilic reactions are generally true ? V SN2 reactions rely on least hindered substrates. 1° are best while 3° are worst. V SN1 and E1 reactions rely on good carbocation forming substrates. Benzylic, allylic, 3° are best while 1° are worst. V E2 reactions depend primarily on strong bases like hydroxides, alkoxides, or amides. V Polar aprotic solvents like HMPA, DMF, DMSO, acetonitrile, or acetone are favoring SN2. V Polar protic, neutral or acidic solvents/environments like alcohols, water, or acidic solutions favor SN1/E1 mechanisms. SN2 and E2 reactions are stereospecific, while SN1 occurs with racemization. Elimination reactions are expected to result in Zaitsev's (more substituted) product(s), unless hinderance steers them into Hoffman's (less substituted) product(s).
Rank the following in order of reactivity in an E1 reaction, (1 = most reactive in an E1 reaction; 3 = least reactive in an E1 reaction).
