(a)
Interpretation:
3-bromocylohexene or bromocyclohexane reacts faster in E2/E1 reaction is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
An E1 reaction is a two-step reaction in which the
Major product is more stable
An E2 reaction is a concerted, one-step reaction in which the proton is the more stable alkene, unless the reactants are sterically hindered or the leaving group is poor.
(b)
Interpretation:
3-bromocylohexene or bromocyclohexane reacts faster in E2/E1 reaction is to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
An E1 reaction is a two-step reaction in which the alkyl halide dissociates forming a carbocation intermediate. Then a base removes a proton from adjacent carbon to a positively charged carbon.
Major product is more stable alkene.
An E2 reaction is a concerted, one-step reaction in which the proton is the more stable alkene, unless the reactants are sterically hindered or the leaving group is poor.

- I'm having trouble with converting lewis diagrams into VSEPR diagrams. I currently have this example of C2BrCl3 which I want to turn into a lewis structure, but I'm not sure what steps I need to do in order to do so. I have the table written down, however, there's two central atoms so what would I do? There seems to be 4 electron domains on the carbon atom and no lone pairs so it would seem like this shape would be tetrahedral. Here's what I have now. Thanks!arrow_forwardWe discussed the solid phase resin using in peptide synthesis. Provide a mechanism, for its formation. DRAW THE MECHANISM.arrow_forwardPlease help. Every time I've asked an expert in the past, it's been wrong :(arrow_forward
